This makes sense.  Thanks Jim.  Sadly, my router doesn’t have that option, I 
don’t believe.  It’s really old.  Maybe this will be my excuse to get a new 
one.  J

Leave the port settings on the PC alone, in other words leave the FTP port set 
to 21  on the PC. On your router / firewall open whatever port you want to use, 
and set it to "port forward" to port 21 on the PC behind the firewall / router. 
Thats how I got people to quit banging on my open SSH port, I just changed my 
router / firewall to listen on some port other than 22 and forward that port to 
port 22 on the local network. It works great for me and I haven't had a single 
login attempt show up in my logs since. 
Jim
