I have installed a FTP Client on my local machine and I would like to transfer/upload files from my local to a remote server(Windows 2008 R2 with FTP installed on it). How can I find the port number on the remote server? Please note that I have full admin privileges on the remote server.

The default TCP FTP ports are 21 for communication and 20 for data transfer.

Hi rekire. Thanks for that! I am trying to upload data to a production server(remote). I am using Filezilla FTP client on my local with host and the port as 20. It says Connection timed out. I am not sure what to do. – sunskin Sep 13 '13 at 15:01

You need to use the default Port 21. About your tags you use ftp and not ftps right? – rekire Sep 13 '13 at 15:06
