Right ... that's what you would have to do to get it working

I'm not tired of it, I'm sorry I can't be of more help ... you've hit 
the crux of trying to replace a class in a contributed plugin ... how do 
you build the .class file (swapping it into the jar is just mechanical).

But like Dave suggested, why not pass the port into the FTP task in the 
ant script itself?

It's as simple as adding port="2121" to the <ftp/> task in the build script.
