FTP port change

[Bahman]

If the FTP port is changed from the default (21) to, say,
9222, what should the ftp command like look like?
ftp://ipaddress:9222
ftp://ipaddress 9222
ftp://ipaddress.9022
ftp://ipaddress /9222

None of the above worked when I changed to FTP port to
9222. There is no firewall and I am on Win XP-Prof and
using IIS. To connect, I use IE 6 and type the command in
the address bar. Any idea?

it should be (in a standard browser) ftp://ipaddressort/directory or even
better ftp://userassword@ipaddressort/directory
since ftp protocol uses 2 ports (21 for commands and 20 for data) please
check that these 2 ports are not blocked.

btw: i've got some problems with some ftp server using IE. please try
another browser or maybe better, a dedicated ftp client

(hint: free ftp client www.smartftp.com)
