Random ports?

How should this work and why you want to do this?

Better consider SFTP or SCP or something more secure instead of FTP.

Rather than random ports, do you mean random sequence numers for the packets?

Hello Torsten,

Thanks for the reply.

We can configure SFTP but our requirement is that how to set the random ports in passive mode FTP .I gone through the link https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01562489 that multiple ports can set in FTP.The same way can we set the random ports like this passv_min =2240 passv_max =2270 as in the Linux VSFTP.How can we define in this in HP-UX ?

Thanks in Advance.
