We need more info from you about the problem: please explain exactly what is going wrong when clients try to connect. Preferably, use the diagnostic capabilities of the FTP client to post a transcript of the exchanges between client and server on the command stream.

port 21 is blocked by isp
Which ISP blocks port 21? NTL do not block port 21.

have tryed several ports but still not working. have tryed ports 50000 & 6699
It does not matter what port number you use for the command stream, provided you forward the same port through the router, and configure the client to use the same port. You still need to make all the other configurations listed in my post above, just changing "21" to the actual port number you use. Have you done those?

Trigger Port 6699
It is a mistake to configure any trigger ports for an FTP server: delete the trigger settings.
