Re: Active FTP PORT command - port number

Hello All,

The PORT request has a parameter in the form

h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2

meaning that the client is listening for connections on TCP port
p1*256+p2 at IP address h1.h2.h3.h4.

Where p1 and p2 numbers are coming from? Are there any ftp
configuration files?

The FTP server normally asks the stack to find an unused port number and
bind the socket to it. It will change from connection to connection.
