How do I save ftp.plist file when using sudo nano?

Question

I edited ftp.plist by using sudo nano in terminal, and I saved by control + O but after reboot, it changed again. How can I save the file?

We are talking about /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist I assume. Did you verify whether your changes were written to the file after leaving nano?
It was written well. Because when I quit terminal and open the file again, it was changed. But after rebooting, it changed like before it is edited.

In Finder navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist

The file should not change now when you reboot.

	I cannot see the file in the directory like this. imgur.com/CsgPm So I edited the file using Terminal. Is there any option for see all files? – Stan Pak Sep 25 '11 at 3:11
	I solved this problem by changing built-in ftp server's port to 9221 in etc/services file. – Stan Pak Sep 25 '11 at 3:57
