[Xitami] Xitami FTP port.

[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

Hello,  :) :)

And, thanks for your time, advise, and HELP!!!

In a previous discusion about the Xitami FTP Server it was mentioned that I should also forward the ROUTER port 20 to the Xitami FTP Server IP.

I can find PORT 21 described in the Xitami Document for FTP, but Port 20 cannot be found.

The following was listed at IANA for ports 20 and 21;

      ftp-data         20/tcp    File Transfer [Default Data]
      ftp-data         20/udp    File Transfer [Default Data]
      ftp              21/tcp    File Transfer [Control]
      ftp              21/udp    File Transfer [Control]

Please forgive me, the last time I worked with any level of protocol was a long time ago (circa "IBM BI-SYNC" and previous).

It does look like port 21 is to logon with username:password control (authentication???) and that 20 would be the up/down load of files(???).


        1. Is this the meaning for port 20 and 21? 
        2. If so and port 20 is used by Xitami should it 
           be discussed in the documentation?

Thanks for your help!
