How to change a ftp Port in Debian
Hello,
I was having a problem with proftpd and decided that I'm going to switch to pure-ftpd-mysql, but I need to change the port in order to do testing before I remove proftpd, doing a search in google I fount that in the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/Bind I can do it, but I don't have that file.
How can I change the port?

Are you using inetd? if so, you can add a port number and the corresponding program to the /etc/inetd.conf file
Did verguillas try all 2 suggestions? Please give feedback to me and beester.

Hi to all,
First of all, I had to change to pure-ftpd, cause it was easier to do what I wanted to do.
Second, I apologize because I didn't answer before to this post.
Third, Quomodo, it's not a lack of courtesy, is a lack of time and experience using EE.

Change your default ftp port 21 by editing the following file
/etc/services
use any text editing program you prefer for instance:
nano /etc/services
search this line:
ftp 21/tcp
set 21 to a port you like (except not a used port). Safe by hitting ctrl+o then ENTER. Then crtl+x to close.

pure-ftpd-mysql seems to be authentication module for Pure-FTPd that allows to use MySQL to store user information (authentication information).
Hope this helps,
