how to change vsftpd default port?
so here's the deal. I have vsftpd installed and am looking to change the default port to something other than 21. I've checked /etc/vsftpd.conf and can't find a setting to change the default port. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, which doesn't have the /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf file. The only line I'm getting in the file that has to do with ports is the following:
connect_from_port_20=YES
Does anyone know if there's another config file somewhere that I can change the default port on or simply the syntax for a need line to change the port?
According to online manpage (man 5 vsftpd.conf
), you can use listen_port
option to set port on which vsftpd
will listen for control connections. For example,
listen_port=2121
Also note what the default /etc/vsftpd.conf
recommends in its header:
# READ THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
# Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
# capabilities.
