Redirecting FTP to 80
How can I get FTP to run on port 80? There's no config file in /etc... Apple should add some options to the Sharing PrefPane.

I disagree. Changing the port number of a standard service is VERY unusual. You could probably count on one hand the number of people who need to do this, yet you're proposing that Apple confuse every other user with offering them an option they're never going to use (or, probably, even have a clue about).
However, if you really want to do it, ftpd reads /etc/services to find the port number to use. Scroll down and you'll see a line like:
ftp 21/tcp #File Transfer [Control]
Change it to whatever port number you want to use.
Thanks!
