You are creating a new FTP server and basing its configuration on an existing server. All settings for the new server will be identical to the existing client except for the control port, the start procedure name, and the configuration file member name.
The control connection port number is the port number the FTP server will use to listen for incoming logins.
This port number must not be conflict with other port reservations. Both the port number you specify and the port number - 1, will be reserved for the FTP server. Therefore, other applications must not already have reserved these ports.
If another application has already reserved the ports, you will be asked if you want to negate the reservation for the other application and proceed with your FTP server's port reservation request.
If the port is already reserved for another FTP server, you will be asked if you want to bind an IP address to this FTP server's port reservation. If you decide to bind an IP address, then your server will connect only to clients using this bind IP address when logging in.
To see all port reservations, return to the Communications Server IP Services main console and go to the Basic Settings task.
