Mark > Is there a way to specify a port for a FTP.
Yes - but as the other posts indicated, you need to understand what you may be trying to do. > We have a default setup as port 21 ... 21 is more than simply a "default", it is the value which corresponds to the use of a - in this case the FTP "conversation" or "command" - protocol which any two IP nodes supporting standard applications such as FTP use. > ... - but this one machine wants us to use port 22. As indicated in other response posts, whoever mentioned to you that this "other machine" wanted to use port 22 probably didn't tell you the full story. It is almost certain that the use of port 22 is for a particular special flavour of FTP which both communicating partners need to be using. It is *not* simply the usual FTP happening to use another port. You need to change the whole program behind the use of port 22. Mark Regan kindly provided you with the Wikipedia reference to this "whole program". Here's another Wikipedia page which can help curb the enthusiasm of any of your colleagues who might feel the urge to change "well-known" port numbers without due consideration! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers > What would be the easiest way to do this. Make sure you understand what is being proposed! Chris Mason On Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:29:36 -0500, Mark Steely <mark.ste...@wnco.com> wrote: >Is there a way to specify a port for a FTP.
