My internet provider firewall does not allow to open port 21
So I want to change the port number to eg. 2121

I'm new in Debian, so a whole new world is opening.

I did following steps:
-ssh connection
-user logon
-su root logon
-try to see/open/edit: proftpd.conf file:

/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

I got Permission denied
What could be the problem?

You tried to execute the conf file instead of editing it

Code: Select all

nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
