In Microsoft Publisher 2007, how is an alternate ftp port specified?

I need to set port 9921 for the ftp server to be used.

Download and use FileZilla for FTP uploading, and you can specify the port
within that program. It is a freebie and will be easier to use in the long
run.

http://filezilla-project.org/

Also download and read the instructions:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

If you have more questions about Publisher webs, then post in the web group
and we will try to help you there:

or

Please include the version of Publisher you are using, the URL of your site
and as much detail as possible.

Thank you for the response. I did list the version of publisher used (2007).
If there is a way to set the port within it, that information would be
useful.

I don't understand why the URL of the site would be needed in this case or
what other details would be desired. I am anticipating this is a simple
configuration change within Publisher.

Thank you. I had found that article previously and found no mention of
setting the ftp port within it.

You are welcome. I meant when you *repost* in the web group to be sure to
include the version, the URL and details as typically these are lacking in
the posts and thus delay our ability to answer questions. That statement
along with both the newsgroup and the forum links to the web group is a
boilerplate ending I use for not only the person that has posted the web
related question to this general Publisher newsgroup but also to anyone else
that might have a web related question.

My answer stands, you choose the port via the ftp tool, not Publisher, and
it is easier to do in FileZilla than trying to FTP via anything built into
Windows. Given that the directions for FTP uploading protocol vary with the
operating system used and have become confusing with Vista, the two step
process of publishing your web files from Publisher to your local computer
and then using a third party FTP client to upload those files is the easiest
solution for most. If you prefer to try to use Windows for ftp uploading
then feel free to try to figure it out from MSFT's instructions within the
following article:

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:

Once again, I would request that if you have follow up questions or new web
related questions then please post in the web group. You will find more
people willing to assist you there.
