How to change default FTP port in Leopard

[wicktron]

Using Leopard's built in FTP-server under file sharing, is it possible to change the default port?

I have multiple computers on a network that need an FTP server and I'm going to route the ports on the NAT/Router.

Or are there alternative solutions to this?

ssh woud be much more secure then ftp and most ftp clients can connect to it via sftp.

SSH is a smilar issue. I'd have to enable 2 different SSH ports on the NAT/Router. SSH Tunneling is not an option as this setup is geared towards non-technical users who have to retrieve their files.

BTW, the method on the Apple discussions site does not seem to work properly. Need to find another way. Maybe PureFTPd? Gonna give it a go and see how that works, I suppose.

For ssh this should work http://www.macosxhints.com/art...tory=20050707140439980

The reason I suggested ssh is because your post made it sound like you wanted a single ftp server for multiple clients, not multiple ftp servers.
