The Xitami FTP server is only meant to be a temporary solution to get 
files up to the web server. It is nowhere near the quality of "real" 
FTP servers. This is even acknowledged by the developers. When I ran 
the Xitami FTP server, I often got interrupted uploads (I almost 
never downloaded from it).

Disable the Xitami FTP server and change to a different, good, real 
FTP server -- for Win32 for example GuildFTPd (a five minute setup) 
or WarFTPd (slightly more complicated but runs as a service 
natively).

Sorry to be negative, but that's the way it is.
