Can I do this with my router?

[Finnkc]

Right now I have an FTP server using port 21 on the router (port fwds to PC IP) ... now I want to add an HTTP server on the same PC using that same IP ... however I can't use the same port on the router (port 21). So canI just add say port 21 or 23 for the HTTP and do the same as I did for the FTP server? Can you have 2 fwds to the same IP?

HTTP is normally on port 80.

ah ok cool thanks ... I wasn't sure.

so I can run the HTTP (port 80) on the same PC as the FTP (port 21)?

Thats the idea of having different ports for different software, to allow you to do that

And yes you deffo can
