I use FTP to transfer files to/from work that I don't want to add to CVS. Sometimes I am on my home computer connecting to the ftp server at work, sometimes I have already telneted to work, and so it is simpler to just ftp to my home computer. Well, my ISP has had abusers sharing accounts with all their friends, so they started blocking all the ports < 1024. So, I just run ftp on port 10021. It's rather painless to type
ftp aighearach.homeip.net 10021 instead of just
ftp aigherach.homeip.net. (oh yeah, telnet is port 5050, login guest... ;)
