An ftp client talks to an ftp server. The ftp server (an authorized user) listens on port 21 (control connection). The ftp client uses an ephemeral port (high port) to connect to the ftp server (on port 21). The ftp client does not use port 21 as the source port.

But my port wasn't specified; I was trying to talk to port 514 on the destination. If what you're implying was true, then only OBEY users could use FTP, since it's port number is 21. -- Robert P.
