How do I change port settings for Front Page web site access to remote host
without changing internet explorer settings ?

"Help" suggests checking the [Use Passive FTP] box. This doesn't seem to
give the ability to change the remote host port settings.
 
Why do you need / want to change them??

For security reasons our web site host only allows us access to our site
through an alternative port number. I am told that this number is normally
assumed to be port 30. CuteFTP allows the port number to be changed easily
and I can update the site using this cheap utility, the same functionality in
FrontPage isn't evident, but I would prefer to keep the web management
function all within the one package.

Port 80 is the *usual* http: port.
