A previous posting of mine a few months ago:

Some recent information I was sent by Cisco indicates that
enabling 'strict' enables checks on FTP commands and responses, including:
- check correct number of commas
- check for CR/LF termination
- sizes for STOR and RETR are checked against built-in maximums
- check that PORT or PASV was sent from the correct side of the connection
- check port numbers for reserved TCP ports
- check for extra data after the end of port numbers
