[Xitami] Annoying FTP-Bots

[navy nut]

Thank you very kindly for this info Marc!
   
  I did read this the first time around, but somehow assumed that you really meant the port-base setting.  My mistake.  I previously didn't realize that port-settings in Xitami could be could be adjusted any other way.
   
  With this in mind, I think I'll continue using Xitami for FTP for the time being, but on an alternate port as you've suggested.  I plan to roll this out over the weekend, once I've notified my users of the change.
   
  I've attempted to Google up a list of TCP ports that are not commonly used (I believe they call them "scratch ports"), but didn't really find what I was looking for.  I'm hoping my choice of FTP-port 2112 wont wind up becoming just another invitation for other ongoing issues.  "Shields Up" claims this port is commonly used by "Idonix MetaNet" (whatever that is)... but then again, I was unable to find a port number in their database that wasn't said to be commonly used by something or other.
   
  Thanks again  :)
