This thread may not be in the correct forum so please move it if required.

Has anyone successfully changed the default ftp port (21) to annother, via port forwarding ?
I know I can password protect connections but I rather have a different port number and
I'm not very techy minded when it comes to making changes on the router

Thanks Artorius for the above link.

Those instructions are quite straight forward to follow (hopefully !!) and if anyone else is going to do this then please read the comments section underneath the instructions as other important
information could be missed.
