I note you're using RC1, would it be possible for you to upgrade to
1.0.0? A fair amount of issues was fixed in between these versions.

Also, note that the maximum allowed connections are configured both on
the listener and per user, so you might be hitting either limit. Could
we verify that both these settings are correct.

As requested by John, a debug log would be helpful. Also, if you could
provide the output of netstat -a for the port your running FtpServer
on, and lsof for the process in which FtpServer runs.

We're hoping to work both on hardening FtpServer, as well as adding
new features. Now, based on the general feedback we're getting on this
list, your seem to be having an unusually hard time with FtpServer,
and I sincerely hope we can help you out.
