VSFTPD Multiple FTP sites with default port '21'

Hi,

I am trying to create multiple FTP sites on one Linux server (using multiple vsftpd-sitename.conf files) with default port '21'.

Below is the sample vsftpd site configuration,

# cat vsftpd-site1.conf
listen=YES
write_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
guest_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
hide_ids=YES
anon_root=/data
anonymous_enable=YES
listen_address=192.168.169.1
listen_port=21

I am unable to create above vsftpd site with port '21'. Below is the problem,

# vsftpd vsftpd-site1.conf &
[1] 14448
500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket

I wonder, i can able to create above FTP site with another port (example, listen_port=60001 ).

In Linux(vsftpd), can i use default ftp port '21' for multiple FTP sites? if yes, what is the possible way?

Thanks in advance.

After saving vsftpd-site1.conf file, restart vsftpd and check.

It doesn't working. :-(

I guess, default ftp port 21 is being used by vsftpd service when it is start and running, also not allowing to share same port with new ftp sites.

Because when i stop vsftpd(service vsftpd stop), i am able to create the above ftp site with vsftpd-site1.conf file(using port 21) and when i start/restart vsftpd(service vsftpd restart), the above created ftp site is getting terminated automatically.

Must be some other solution.
