hello...

i was wondering how to change the port that ftp serves on, instead of the default of 21. i've found out how to change the port that i connect to other machines w/ ftp using netinfo - but i can't change the port that my machine serves w/.

i've tried to change it using the services (i think, something like that) file in /etc, but that doesn't seem to work.

i need to figure this out cos my isp blocks it's users from serving on port 21....

thanks for any help!

c.s.

 
this is from the etc/services file...
