I´ve searched and didnt find which ports does XMPP uses. I need to implement XMPP server and client and use XML transfer, file transfer and streaming. Do they use different ports?? Is there a way I can make them use all the same, so I dont need to bother the network admin? Thanks

According to Wikipedia:

5222 TCP     XMPP client connection (RFC 6120)        Official  
5223 TCP     XMPP client connection over SSL          Unofficial
5269 TCP     XMPP server connection (RFC 6120)        Official
5298 TCP UDP XMPP JEP-0174: Link-Local Messaging /    Official
             XEP-0174: Serverless Messaging
8010 TCP     XMPP File transfers                      Unofficial

The port numbers are defined in RFC 6120 § 14.7.
