I second this feature.. Since port 21 is a well known port to use for FTP it would be nice to be able to choose a port to FTP to...

Hello,

For the time being, you can edit the script:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/ftp_upload.php
to modify to port.

Link didn't help me... don't understand

How do you specify a port, do you know the exact line to add to the script?

 

[DirectAdmin Support]

edit the ftp_upload.php script. Change:

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

to

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server, 21);

I've been trying to get this to work but am having no luck. Is there a log file I can view that might give me a clue as to what's going on?
