I want to change the port used by telnet. I saw the
postings on the archive that say to call qtcp/qtgsrv
after changing the services table. Can this be done back
in v3r7? Was there a PTF back that far?

In the same vein, can something like this be done for
ftp - or does ftp take the service table changes without
intervention? I did not do a search on this.

There seems to be a problem, though, with the standard
Windows client, which does not seem to have a port
argument for ftp. Maybe clients like Cute & WS-FTP do
better?

The reason for doing this is, we have 3 machines, 2
behind a LinkSys DSL/cable gateway (router), 1 out in
front, naked to the world. I want to put all 3 behind
the LinkSys, and then assign non-standard ports for
telnet and ftp on the 3 boxes. Then I'll make the
LinkSys forward traffic to each box according to port.
(We'll get VPN someday, I hope, soon!) We do have a need
for customers to upload data, as well as for us to
connect to these boxes remotely.

Thanks

Vern
