FTP server and chroot

[brodie]

OK, so im familiar with setting up an ftp server and restricting the user to a domain, but how do i 'enact' this if i change the ftp port? and how do i change the ftp port even?
thanks in advance

You can change the FTP port in Netinfo Manager; it's relatively straightforward.

I'm not sure chroot knows or cares what port FTP is running on, but I could very well be wrong with that assumption.

keep getting 'illegal port range' when i try and ftp in to test. im using port 2121 any ideas? do i have to change the other ftp settings like ftpdata?
thanks

What are you trying to FTP with? All I've done to my machine is the NetInfo change to a higher port, and from the Terminal, "ftp my.ip.number 2121" connects just fine.

Try using a higher number and see if you get the same error?
