My ISP is blocking ports under 1024.
I have setup a vsftp server (SUSE10.0)
It works fine from insite my LAN.
From outsite (WAN, internet) no connection is possible.
Port 20 and 21 in my router are forwarded to my server.
How can I setup vsftp to run on a port above 1024 to allow anonymous uploads?
I have looked in /etc/vsftpd.conf
The only occurance of 'port' which I found in the file vsftpd.conf is:
# Transfer Settings
#
# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
#
connect_from_port_20=YES

Can I change this to:
connect_from_port_9000=YES
if I want to use port 9000 for ftp ?

Or is the port settings for vsftp somewhere else?

Hi Henk,

you can add below mentioned line in vsftpd.conf.

listen_port=xxxx
where "xxxx" is the port which u wants to listen your ftp server.

I have added
listen_port=40000 to vsftpd.conf

Have also forwarded port 40000 to my server.

But how do I access my ftp server now?
I have a dyndns pointer 'henkoegema.ftpaccess.cc' to my server.
WhenI try (from a webbrowser IE) "ftp://henkoegma.ftpaccess.cc:40000" (without the " ")
I get error:
An error occured opening the dir. on the FTP-server. Make sure you have access to that dir.
(translated from Dutch)
Details:
200 Switching to ASCII mode
500 Illegal PORT command
500 Unknown command.

Now I can't connect from inside my LAN either. (which I could before)

How do I load the new settings in vsftdp.conf?
Now I restart the pc, but there must be a smarter way !
How can I stop and restart the vsftp deamon?
