Port Numbers In etc/hosts

Comment:
I FTP connect to a remote system via an alias specified in my etc/hosts file.
By default the FTP connects via port 21 but I now require to connect to that system using port 8000.
Is there anyway of specifying the port number to be used for that alias in the etc/hosts file?

Why don't you just put the post number after the server alias in the ftp string.
eg. ftp alias port

/etc/hosts does not know about ports; it only maps ips to hostnames. if you are running tcpwrappers you can twist requests for ftp on the server side to be answered on port 8000. if your system allows it you can use a .netrc file to specify an ftp port or whatever you want when you connect -- see man ftp for syntax.
