port
1. <networking> A logical channel or channel endpoint in a communications system. The Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol transport layer protocols used on Ethernet use port numbers to distinguish between (demultiplex) different logical channels on the same network interface on the same computer.
Each application program has a unique port number associated with it, defined in /etc/services or the Network Information Service "services" database. Some protocols, e.g. telnet and HTTP (which is actually a special form of telnet) have default ports specified as above but can use other ports as well.
Some port numbers are defined in RFC 1700, divided into well-known ports and registered ports.
2. To translate or modify software to run on a different platform, or the results of doing so. The portability of the software determines how easy it is to port.
3. An imperative language descended from Zed from Waterloo Microsystems (now Hayes Canada) ca. 1979.

Port
A Port is part of the PC that is used for passing data in and out of a computing device. This is normally located on the back of the PC. The port can be a Serial Port - data is sent/received one bit at a time through a cable containing a single wire, or a Parallel port where the data is sent/received through a cable containing several pieces of wire so that more than one bit at a time can be processed. Also referred to as the I/O Port.

Port
Related to the Internet , a port is a part of a Web server that handles requests for particular services (FTP , TELNET , WWW ).
Each of those services has its own port number, where it "listens" for requests. For example, WWW servers normally listen on port 80. When you use a non-standard port number, it must be specified in the URL after a colon (:) (eg
http://www.domain.com:8000)

3 meanings. First and most generally, a place where information goes into or out of a computer, or both. E.g. the serial port on a personal computer is where a modem would be connected.
On the Internet port often refers to a number that is part of a URL, appearing after a colon (:) right after the domain name. Every service on an Internet server listens on a particular port number on that server. Most services have standard port numbers, e.g. Web servers normally listen on port 80. Services can also listen on non-standard ports, in which case the port number must be specified in a URL when accessing the server, so you might see a URL of the form:
gopher://peg.cwis.uci.edu:7000/
shows a gopher server running on a non-standard port (the standard gopher port is 70).
Finally, port also refers to translating a piece of software to bring it from one type of computer system to another, e.g. to translate a Windows program so that is will run on a Macintosh.

Port
An Internet port refers to a number that indicates what kind of protocol a server on the Internet is using. For example, web servers typically are listed on port 80. Web browsers use this port by default when accessing web pages, but you can also specify what port you would like to use in the URL like this: http://www.excite.com:80/. Game servers, like a Quake server, or a KALI server also use different ports. It is good to know what a port is, but you seldom will have to specify it manually, so don't freak out. There are also two other computer-related meanings of port. One refers to the ports that are on the back of a computer where devices can be hooked up (like a serial port or a printer port). The other is used as a verb and refers to the editing of a program's code so that it can run on another platform. For example, to get Final Fantasy VII to run on a PC, programmers needed to port it to the PC from the Playstation. Mac programs are (too) often ported from PC versions.

Port
A port is a facility for receiving ships and transferring cargo. They are usually situated at the edge of an ocean, sea, river, or lake. Ports often have cargo-handling equipment such as cranes (operated by longshoremen) and forklifts for use in loading/unloading of ships, which may be provided by private interests or public bodies. Often, canneries or other processing facilities will be located very close by. Harbour pilots , barges and tugboats are often used to safely maneuver large ships in tight quarters as they approach and leave the docks. Ports which handle international traffic will have customs facilities.
