I have a single IP address. At the same time, I have 2 FTP servers (NAS and CMS) which is both using port 21. Both servers doesn't allow me to make changes to their port setting.
Is there anyway that I can have one IP address using 2 FTP ports (21)? How about at the router side? I am using Linksys 200G btw.
Please help.Thanks.

If your software doesn't allow port changes then these will only be accessible on your LAN (you do have more than one LAN address?) , UNLESS you can get another public IP for one of the servers.. That is just the way TCP/IP works.
Most NAS software (even FreeNas) lets you change the port! Don't know which CMS you have but most of those run on an HTTP server and Apache as well as IIS etc allow you to change ports for both web server and FTP services. And MOST FTP server packages allow changes to the port numbers as well.
I am surprised that any server software doesn't allow that change? Would you mind telling us what NAS and what CMS you are running so we can AVOID THEM!

You can use IIS or G6 or many other program out there that allow you to host multiple ftp site on one server. For example, IIS will allow you to change the port number or also allow your to create more than one ftp site base on DNS record. So it will all depend on the DNS address the user use to access your ftp server. I sugguest you do a little more research on IIS and how to implement and configure it.
