I'm pretty sure the confusion comes from my AdvancedSiteSetup tutorial
here:
http://www.zope.org/Members/dshaw/AdvancedSiteSetup
I usually leave the Zope ftp server off for production systems, because
I never use it, and it could be a possible security hole to leave an
unmonitored service running. That's why in my sample configuration
zope.conf it is set up like this:
ZOPE_OPTS = '-p - -f -'
That command DISABLES the internal ftp server.
You enable it in zope.conf like this:
ZOPE_OPTS = '-p - -f 8021'
Where 8021is the port you want to use.
Then restart zope:
./zctl.py restart
Hope that helps.
