-> instead of changing existing ftp server, add new service and include it in /etc/inetd.conf and run "inet -c" of the new config.

Keep in mind that if you do start an FTP server on a non-standard port, you must also get the FTP client(s) to use those ports.

Any particular reason you want to start an FTP service on an alternate port?
