According to the man page, you need to change the port number in /etc/services from 21 to 2021.

Once you've made the change, just stop/start the service in System Preferences.

You may also need to to restart the ftp daemon for it to take effect : In Terminal --> run "launchctl stop com.apple.ftpd" ** then run ** "launchctl start com.apple.ftpd" – CaseyIT Apr 6 '10 at 11:34
