moving the ftp port

[Joel Hammer]

Well, I do not know how your daemon works, but this is what I get with
man ftpd:

ftpd [  p ctrlport ] [  P dataport ] 

Normally, the daemon determines the port numbers
by looking in /etc/services for "ftp" and "ftp-data". If
there is no /etc/services entry for "ftp-data" and the
P option is not specified, the daemon uses the port just
prior to the control connection port. The  p option is
only available if running as a standalone daemon.

So, maybe take out your entries in /etc/services?
