You could use a BAT file and the NETSH FIREWALL command

An example of this would be opening ports 20000 to 20010

@Echo OFF
FOR /L %%I IN (20000,1,20010) DO NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP %%I FTPPort%%I

To run this command from the Run dialog, use:

@Echo OFF
FOR /L %I IN (20000,1,20010) DO NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP %I FTPPort%I

Open a Command Prompt window and enter NETSH FIREWALL /? for more help on this topic. NETSH FIREWALL ADD /? for more help on the ADD command.
