[Xitami] Alternate FTP-Port

[navy nut]

While running either the Xitami GUI OR Service, the edit:
   
  [Ftp]
    Port = "2112"
   
  in the defaults.cfg did not prove satisfactory.
   
  When tested on the local network, FTP functioned flawlessly on port-2112... but I wound up having some major problems with clients attempting to connect from outside the network.
   
  Their access would log:
   
  68.111.xx.xx - dave [16/May/2007:23:13:10 -0700] "ftp://68.111.xx.xx/" 230 0 "-" ""
  207.255.xx.xx - jayne [17/May/2007:03:15:14 -0700] "ftp://207.255.xx.xx/" 230 0 "-" ""
   
  ... but they'd never receive a response.  Their connection would simply time-out.
   
  TCP port-2112 was open, both on the router and software firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro) on my Xitami box (WinXp-Pro)... with no unusual activity reporting to the firewall logs.
   
  Immediately upon a clients attempt to log in, the serving PC would hang, and become extremely non-responsive until I stopped (and restarted) Xitami.  At least twice, this "hanging" was so extreme, that it required me to trip the power-switch in order to force a reboot.  Xitami did however, seem to continue serving web-content at a steady rate, even with the PC hanging as such.
   
  Since removing this line from the defaults.cfg (and reverting back to FTP port-21), clients can once again log in without any trouble... and Xitami's overall performance is UP by a very noticeable measure.
   
  * HTTP activity seemed to work alright after the alternate FTP-port was applied... but was far more sluggish than usual.
   
  Can anyone think of anything I may possibly have overlooked?
   
  Thanks,
