Default FTP Ports

[Simon]

Hello

If I change my default port for a ftp server on winxp to 7000 what
other port will still need to be open on my firewall as I know ftp
uses 2 connections (21,20).

So will 7000 and 6999 need to be open or 7000 and 20 ??

Thanks
Simon

If you want to allow passive connections you will have to open a range
of ports. Read this for some info on how it all works.
