Open the vsftpd.conf file, enter:
# vi vsftpd.conf
Find line that read as follows
listen_port=21
Replace port 21 with new port such as 201:
listen_port=201
Save and close the file. Please make sure no other service is using port # 201. Finally, restart the vsftpd server:
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
OR
# service vsftpd restart
All ftp client need use the tcp port # 201 while connecting to the ftp server. For example:
$ ftp ftp.cyberciti.biz 201
