Using UDP or TCP messages through firewalls

Hi

I am not an expert under UDP or TCP and i am currently working on the possiblity to make an applicatoin.

The application will be composed by two executable.
One on a client machine and another on a server.
The both machines have to communicate some specific data thourgh an UDP or TCP port.

The problem is that the machines can be separated by one or several firewalls.

The other problem is that we need to make a plug and play application with no needs to the client to configure anything.

So is there any way to make UDP/TCP communications through firewals in such a case ?

Thanks

A question

If i use FTP with standard port can it be possible that i will go through firewalls ?

If yes what is the interest of firewalls in this case ?

Thanks
firewalls are able to allow ftp, most only allow active ftp protocol
the interest is to block anything else than what is allowed ;-)
Thanks a lot
