  Hi @jimlongo You wouldn't want to change the passive IP range, what you're wanting to do is change the active FTP port it sounds like. What you'll do in this case is change the port number on the line as follows: Bind 21
  Then restart the ftp server as well as ensure that the new port number is allowed in the firewall. Some information on Passive vs Active FTP mode: How to Enable FTP Passive Mode - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

  Can you tell me what I would edit if I was instead using ProFTP?

  Hi @jimlongo Well that page is specifically for configuring Passive FTP which is different than what you wanted to do.
