The FTP port has been standardized at port 21, so it is highly unlikely it is operating on another port. To change the port, you would have had to change configuration settings. And if you had, you would know what port it was on.

Why might you have problems connecting to an FTP server PORT mode?
Check the server has passive ftp enabled.
What port does ftp use?
Generally port 21 is for FTP 22 for FTP using SSH 990 FTP using SSL
How do you shutdown FTP services in Linux?
To shut down an FTP server in Linux, you would generally use "ftpshut." The command syntax can vary slightly, so check your man pages for the correct syntax.

What is the purpose for port 20?
TCP port 20 is used by FTP (File Transfer Protocol) for data transfer. FTP also uses port 21.
What ports need to be open for the client to use the FTP client software?
FTP is a TCP based service exclusively. There is no UDP component to FTP. FTP is an unusual service in that it utilizes two ports, a 'data' port and a 'command' port (also known as the control port). Traditionally these are port 21 for the command port and port 20 for the data port. The confusion begins however, when we find that depending on the mode, the data port is not always on port 20. In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N > 1023) to the FTP server's command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20. From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support active mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: * FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection) * FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port) * FTP server's port 20 to ports > 1023 (Server initiates data connection to client's data port) * FTP server's port 20 from ports > 1023 (Client sends ACKs to server's data port) In order to resolve the issue of the server initiating the connection to the client a different method for FTP connections was developed. This was known as passive mode, or PASV, after the command used by the client to tell the server it is in passive mode. In passive mode FTP the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server. When opening an FTP connection, the client opens two random unprivileged ports locally (N > 1023 and N+1). The first port contacts the server on port 21, but instead of then issuing a PORT command and allowing the server to connect back to its data port, the client will issue the PASV command. The result of this is that the server then opens a random unprivileged port (P > 1023) and sends the PORT P command back to the client. The client then initiates the connection from port N+1 to port P on the server to transfer data. From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support passive mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: * FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection) * FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port) * FTP server's ports > 1023 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server) * FTP server's ports > 1023 to remote ports > 1023 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client's data port)
Where can one purchase an external FTP port?
External FTP ports are generated. They are not sold unless you are paying someone to do it for you. To help you create an FTP port simply open port21 on your router.
