Firewall Port Site Definition Globally Changing

Question

We are using Dreamwaver MX 2004 Educational Edition.
We have several Managed Sites configured for secure FTP on
firewall port 21. We have added a new site but it uses port 1021.
When we configured that site we were able to connect with no
probelm. The issue is we discoverd that for our existing defined
Manage Sites the firewall port automatically changed to 1021. When
we reset the port back to 21, all the other defined Managed sites
changed to port 21, inculding the ones defned for port 1021. We
tested this out on two different machines and the results were the
same.
Is this that way it is, or a know issue, a "feature"?
Thanks for any information.

Hello Preston Holder. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
As you are already aware RDC clients listen on port 3389 by default.
To change the listening port will require making a Registry mod. This would be typically used if you needed to access more than one computer remotely. (ref: Microsoft Knowledge Base article 306759)
Locate the appropriate Registry key using Regedit.exe:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\Port Number
From the Edit menu, click Modify and then click Decimal. Choose a new port number. In general, choosing a number between 49152 and 65535 will avoid conflict with any other apps on your system, but you could theoretically use any port on the system. Once you set the port number you also need to configure your router to pass the specified port to your computer.
To access your computer remotely, instead of typing just the IP address, you need to type the IP address followed by the port number like this: 192.168.1.1:50001
