You might find it easy, but vsftpd is still 10x easier. And before you can put an alias, you have to set up the whole damn lot. Not my choice for when I "just want". > Running FTP on non-standard ports isn't a very good idea though - IMHO. Entirely depends on what you want it for.

One process per port and directory to serve, with editing a file in /etc/sysconfig/ being the most required to set it going by init.d/vsftpd. Minimum data required would be ftp root directory, optional port number, optional config file (default /etc/vsftpd.conf). > mount --bind is an option (too bad hard links don't work across > partitions, You'd have to hardlink a directory! Even if the filesystem supports it (which do?), mount --bind might be the better option.
