In Fetch 4.0, you can do this by selecting "Preferences..." from
the "Customize" menu, clicking the "Firewall" folder tab, and then
clicking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" checkbox.

P.S. To set this option in Interarchie 5.x, see

Eric Belsley's Mac Resource Page, on February 19, 1998, included a
terrific summary of what actually goes on 'behind the scenes' between
FTP client and server when your FTP client program initiates an FTP
data connection via the passive mode ("PASV") command, rather than
via the "PORT" command:

Eric also described how to enable passive mode in a variety of older
FTP client programs ...
