This article helps you to change the FTP port in a cPanel server.<\/p>\n

Pure-FTP<\/span><\/h2>\n

1) Edit \/etc\/pure-ftpd.conf<\/b><\/i> and look for the following line:<\/p>\n

Bind addr port\n<\/pre>\n
Where addr is a publically routable IP. The default example, 127.0.0.1, will cause the socket to bind locally but then this connection won\u2019t serve externally. port is the new port you wish to put the service on.<\/p>\n
2) If necessary, add the new FTP port to your server\u2019s firewall.<\/p>\n
3) Edit \/etc\/chkserv.d\/ftpd<\/b><\/i> and change the port, which is the first comma-separated entry to the right of \u2018=\u2019 on the line in the file, to match the port you put the service on.<\/p>\n
Then restart FTP service as follows:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/init.d\/pure-ftpd restart\n\/etc\/init.d\/cpanel restart (restarts tailwatchd\/chkservd)\n<\/pre>\n
ProFTP<\/span><\/h2>\n
Edit \/etc\/proftpd.conf<\/b><\/i> and change:<\/p>\n
Port 21\n<\/pre>\n
Then restart FTP service as follows:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/init.d\/proftpd start\n\/etc\/init.d\/cpanel restart (restarts tailwatchd\/chkservd) \n<\/pre>\n
Where addr is a publically routable IP. The default example, 127.0.0.1, will cause the socket to bind locally but then this connection won\u2019t serve externally. port is the new port you wish to put the service on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
