FTPS on specific port

[jimlongo]

I have in my pure-ftp.config

# Port range for passive connections - keep it as broad as possible.
PassivePortRange 49152 65534

# Force an IP address in PASV/EPSV/SPSV replies. - for NAT.
# Symbolic host names are also accepted for gateways with dynamic IP
# addresses.

ForcePassiveIP 192.168.0.1
#ForcePassiveIP ~

Have also tried the above config with ForcePassiveIP ~ as in the docs

And the range allowed in CSF TCP IN 49152:65534

If I try to connect FTPS and specify a port in that range it always gets refused.
I can connect on port 21.

What do I need to do so my requests on a specific port other than 21 will be allowed?

Hi @jimlongo


You wouldn't want to change the passive IP range, what you're wanting to do is change the active FTP port it sounds like. What you'll do in this case is change the port number on the line as follows:

Bind 21

Then restart the ftp server as well as ensure that the new port number is allowed in the firewall.

Can you tell me what I would edit if I was instead using ProFTP?

Hi @jimlongo

The line that reads as follows:

Port                            21

Thanks Lauren, they should add this info to that page.

Hi @jimlongo

Well that page is specifically for configuring Passive FTP which is different than what you wanted to do.
