trading partner security

A trading partner wants to use ftp to get a daily file off our ifs, but 
is adamently refusing to specify a single ip they are coming from,
saying that is a security risk to them, and has given us 3 
ranges totalling over 700 addresses. I don't have a problem 
but our firewall person is freaked and refuses. I assume they 
have a herd of routers and servers in their farm. 
note: partner is defense related. 400 has decent ftp exit control.
should i worry?
