Is there anyway I can specify a port number when using ftp.exe I have a FTP
Server running on Port 22 instead of 21 that I need access to.

Thanks. I did try that but it wouldn't connect me. I will take a look at
the firewall to make sure everything is setup correctly to allow me access.

If you are using the command line ftp.exe, the syntax should be

(after you start ehe program)
open <servername> <port number>

example
open 192.168.2.254 22

That should do it for you.

If you are using IE or a web brower
Then it'd be ftp://username:password@servernameorip:portnumber
ie ftp://user1:p[email protected]:22

Hope this helps
