[saurabhj]

If you want to change your FTP port then follow the steps :

Pure-FTP

1) Edit /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and look for the following line:

Before :

Bind 21

After   :

Bind 20

Note : 20 is the new port we used put the service on.

2) If necessary, add the new FTP port to your server's firewall.

3) Edit /etc/chkserv.d/ftpd and change the port, which is the first comma-separated entry to the right of '=' on the line in the file, to match the port you put the service on.


ProFTP

1) Edit /etc/proftpd.conf and change:

Port 21

2) Then make sure to test to make sure FTP is working before notifying your users !
