That's it. Now better make sure that you were right when you stated
your provider doesn't block it. BTW, if I as a provider had a no file
sharing policy, I'd definitely block Port 21. Maybe I would leave Port
20 open (ftp-data), but on Port 21 only the ftp server is supposed to
listen, not really the client.

The other clients are supposed to use whatever port you specify, BTW.
I'm using 50000-50400 myself, and others work fine, too.

If you want to know whether incoming connections reach your site at all
(not taking server software and firewall into account), run
"tcpdump -vvns 1600 dst port 21" (I guess it wouldn't reveal anything
at all).

You're not by chance behind a router?
