When you have a self-hosted WordPress blog, one of the things you need is a reliable FTP client to transfer all your files (themes, plugins, images, etc.) and manually upgrade your WordPress installation.
My FTP client of choice is FileZilla. It’s reliable, easy to use and best of all, it’s FREE. It’s also one of the apps/programs I keep in my USB drive.
Speaking of FileZilla, this post is a short guide to help those who have encountered this error message while trying to set up FileZilla:
Invalid port given. The port has to be a value from 1 to 65535.
To fix this and get rid of the error message, just follow the steps below:
That’s it. Simple as that. Now you can go ahead and use FileZilla to transfer files to and fro your website. Hope this short tutorial helped you fix the “Invalid port given. The port has to be a value from 1 to 65535.” error. If it did, please don’t forget to bookmark or share this post.
