Usually, if you change the port in a server's configuration file, you will have to stop and restart its daemon or service for the changes to take effect. Changing the FTP port would not stop access, butyou would probably have to specify the port manually on any FTP client.

Which network protocol uses port 21?

The network protocol that uses port 21 is FTP (File Transfer Protocol). FTP is commonly used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. Port 21 is specifically designated for FTP control connections. When a user initiates an FTP connection, the client connects to the server's port 21 to establish communication for sending and receiving files. It is important to note that FTP operates in two modes: active mode and passive mode, each using different ports for data transfer.

An Internet server is running both FTP and HTTP services. How does the server know which of these applications should handle an incoming segment?

If I understand the question aright; different port numbers are used to identify different protocols. Port numbers between 1 and 1023 are well-known numbers and standards define which protocol uses which. FTP uses port number 21, HTTP uses port 80.

What does FTP correspond to?

FTP is File Transfer Protocol. It is the protocol used on the internet when you upload files or download files. So for example, if you create a webpage and you want to upload it to your webspace, you need to use an FTP program. There are lots of good one out there. If you use Firefox, you can get an add-on called FireFTP. You would need to get the details of where to connect to in order to get access to your webspace. You will get those on your internet providers webspace. You then set the appropriate settings in the FTP program to enable the connection to be made.

How do you change the Windows XP FTP port?

This actually doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If your trying to listen in on an FTP port, then it's 21. If you are running an FTP server, then the option is in your software. If you are just trying to connect to an FTP server on a non-standard port than using a colon and the port after the host will work fine. If your question is referring to allowing another port into the built-in firewall, then just add a port and call it what you want. If you could provide me with more information I might be able to help you further.
