Description

In the installation guide for the SMP server, the configuration file explicitly specifies ports 5223 and 443.
Port 443 is used by the built-in web server
This raises a question:
How do people run an xftp-server on the same host if port 443 is already in use?
So, is this an outdated instruction, or am I misunderstanding something?
(Or do I need to run the xftp-server on a completely different server?)

Research direction

Start with the SMP server installation guide and the configuration section that specifies ports 5223 and 443. Check the built-in web server and xftp-server setup documentation to determine whether same-host deployment is supported; done means the guide clearly explains the port relationship and configuration options.
