Hi all, I'm sure this is a quick fix, but I've not found the answer yet. On a fresh install of CentOS5, I need to use an alternate port for ftp. Currently vsftpd wants the standard port which is in use by another system on my NATted network. So...how does one go about reconfiguring vsftpd to do this? I've looked in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf to no avail. In my Slackware days, proftpd was able to be configured by editing a single line in the .conf file. I'm hoping it's that easy using CentOS . Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions. (and advance apologies for more questions, as I know they're coming!) ~Ray

If you are running vsftpd in standalone mode, use the "listen_port" directive in vsftpd.conf. A2) Yes. If you are running vsftpd from an inetd or xinetd program, this becomes an inetd or xinetd problem. You must change the inetd or xinetd configuration files (perhaps /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd) Sometimes reading the documentation helps :-) -- rgds Stephen
