Help with ports in FTP

Hello Everyone

I have a Problem with an FTP port heres what I know to comeplte everything.

I have Filezilla and wish to send a photo gallery file to my forum. The forum is a phpbb and is on hostingphpbb.com. When I got to site manager to add the site everything is fine there they have accepted the host but I cannot get the port right for the connection. I have tried 21 and 80 and I get a message saying invalid port. Can anyone help me please?

Yours despertely
Heather

Try port 20.
Maybe hostingphpbb.com uses a different port, if 20 does not work, check with them.

If you have too much spare time....go through each port sequentially until it works....1.....2.....3......4.....

failing that, i'd have to agree with mantas' idea of checking with hostingphpbb.com. I'm guessing they do things their own way.
