These are probably false warnings.
During FTP sessions, Windows will negotiate with the FTP server concerning ports to use for the data connection. It will use ports above the 1024 range for this, but some of these ports are also used by certain Trojans. And because NORTON is a bad firewall it is showing the FTP data connections for TC to these ports as possible hacking attempts.

Maxwish's explanation is correct. Good firewalls use so-called stateful packet inspection: They see that FTP requests these ports, and temporarily allow them for just that server.

To avoid the problem with Norton, you should use passive mode, it uses only outgoing connections, no incoming.
