No it s just a suggestion ( I do not know ftpd in detail as for me security is #1 and ftpd is not so secure else suseftp servers would be running it also not vsftpd) Thanks for the suggestion. I installed it last night and found it was very easy. In my original post I was asking about changing the port number. I see in the vsftpd.conf there is one item
# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES but other than that, I don't see anything for changing the port(s) that vsftpd uses. Can these be changed without tampering and recompiling? I saw your entry in the SuSE faq at http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/ftpservers.html and you are right: it is "dead easy". Thanks again.
