You probably do not want to open ports for file transfer.  If you do, TCP 8010 
is a common port.

To setup file transfers through the server, you will need to setup a proxy on 
the server and configure the clients to use it.  This typically means using 
this:

http://proxy65.jabberstudio.org/

So in the case of the proxy, you just need to open the proxy port on your 
server and both clients will connet to it (TCP 7777 by default).  

With Psi clients, you can find the file transfer proxy settings in the account 
settings.
