ftp doesn't use specific port. It normally establish contact on 21 and then use random port for communication. Why would you want ftp on the first place. I would suggest you rethink that and use SSH instead (sftp or scp)
my isp blocks the first 1053 ports so any service i put below that is not accessible by the web. So I wanted to put it on say port 2220. the ftp server accepts sftp commands normally, as well as standard ftp. In a perfect world I would eliminate normal ftp all together and only use sftp on a port +1053. ? Is there someone other way I should go about it?

Thanks
