    Question Using the ftp command in unix

    hey there,

    running unix and was wondering about using the ftp command. i type ftp to get to the ftp prompt then type

    open myip

    eventually comes up with a timed out message. Thing is my home ftp doesnt use port 21 but another port and i think this is my problem. tried typing

    open myip:port

    but instantly a message comes up saying Unknown host

    is there away to specify what port the ftp connects to?

    thanks for any replies.
