FTP on different ports?

Hi all,

My isp blocks port 25 to improve the quality of service, something i overlooked when i signed up. I am now locked into a 12month contract but could really do with this service.

Is it possible to run an ftp server on another port, I remember reading somewhere that this can be done but cant find any useful information/guides at the moment.

Anyone done this?

Thanks.

Re: FTP on different ports?

yes
pick a port range above 6000
your server port
the client will need this as well
example
Code:
ftp://ftp.joestakeaway.com:8080

doh! forgot to mention port 80, 8080 and 3128 are also blocked.

are there any other ports above 6000 availble?

and has anyone done this on a fedora box?

thanks.
