Yes. Get a KVM that works properly :-/ IIRC I did say that some KVM don't
maintain mouse and/or keyboard state very well for Linux; I've no idea why.
Someone else might. Check on the KVM site to see if it says "Linus aware"
or something not like "Windows roolz. With everythink else our KVM sucks"
.. or somesuch. In the meantime, can you juggle two mice on the bench and
just KVM the keyboard and monitor ?

Did you
man vsftp
or look at the config file
or check if anything useful can be found in /usr/share/doc/vsftp
or check documehntation on the sourceforge page or wherever it is ? 

These may give you some pointers.
