Allow non-standard FTP port to be used for backup to FTP Repository.
Currently only the default FTP port (21) is allowed for backup to FTP repository. Other ports are simply not working and produce error messages. However port 21 is not secure so I always use alternate ports for my FTP servers like 2121. I am not the only one, see;

I think we all would really appreciate if it would be possible to use other FTP ports than just 21.

Great news, everyone – this feature is already available in Plesk 12.0 (specify IP:port or domain:port in FTP server hostname). Let us know on our forum if you experience any issues with it.

I'd like to see port 22 (sFTP) as an option as well.

Hang on, I just tried domain:port under 'FTP server hostname or IP' and it worked for me (with a port other than 21 of course).

This is a must have. I would also like to backup to another Server, but I don't want to expose the default port 21 to the WAN.

I would like to backup to my home NAS, but my ISP is blocking ports 1 - 1024. Changing the FTP port would solve this issue
