You should use a sniffer to verify what is going on. If you have no sniffer, you may want to user Ethereal which is free. See link on the links page at my website. With the sniffer you'll see the ports use by various client and servers. You know that FTP protocol use TWO ports. One for control and one for data. Maybe the data port on a server collide with the control port or data port for another one. Try to use passive mode whenever possible. Try to use port range and server side to fix a range of ports to be used for data. Select a large enough port range.
