how to set priviledge on port 21 ftp of a host

  • 772

i have a linux hosting working with cakephp.some sites got intrusion/hacked.i used nmap to see the open ports.

i found 21/tcp open ftp is the port which should be restricted and not accessible via public.

also i am thinking to restrict /app/config from 777 to 755 and also change databse.php file 'login' => 'root', to user.

can i restrict ftp port 21 to set priviledge if yes, what effect it will have.

how to set priviledge on ftp port 21 of a host.

other ideas regarding security is also welcomed.
