Even if you move it to a non-standard port?

Yes. It seems that they block everything from outside, that attempts
to access a user's system (there may be a couple of exceptions, if
they are required for things to actually work). They will sell me a
very expensive package, that will remove those blocks, and allow me to
run my own servers, if I want to pay through the nose for the service.

Have you tried passive mode?

Any hints about how to set up Peter Moylan's FTP server to do that?
From reading the docs, it looks like it should do it without anything
special, but I get no access from outside of my own systems. Since I
last tried (a couple of years ago), I have also added a router (with
firewall), and a modem, that is also a router, with a firewall, which
doesn't make it any easier. An FTP server, for me, is simply a minor
convenience, that I don't really need anyway.

Thanks...
