| FTP server and port 20 , 21 Firewall Exception I have configured FTP Server on XP Pro SP2. I have excepted port 21 , then I was able remotly to FTP to windows XP (FTP Server). My question, since with FTP, port 21 for control information (commands and response, like ls, put, get,etc) and posrt 20 for data connection. Shouldn't I have enabled port 20 as well ? Since I have not enabled, why I was able to do FTP to server |

| what he is saying is that the LS data (the file listing) is sent over the data connection; your input command (like ls and get) are sent over port 21.
