I beg to differ, based on my experience I think you cannot reliably
guess on which interface (loopback or ethernet link) the server will
listen by default.
Might be worth checking the python module for this, but this may prove
to be partially system-dependent...

However you can determine it easily by watching the server log, since
the FTP service advertises the IP when it starts.

And if you're on stable, no need to remind you that running a
correctly-configured firewall is always a good practice, especially on a
production system ;-)
