I have to disagree. The USB port is under a separate rubber cover below the power and video ports. You have to set the camera to PTP mode for remote control to work. CCP 1.0 and up to version 2.11 could tether the D70.

You are correct.  I use that port all the time but I did not know it was referred to as a USB Port until I looked it up in the manual.  Thanks again.

I believe this is what you are after :)

 

Nikon Remote Cord MC-DC1

 

A friend had one for his D70 when taking long exposure night shots, does the job

Isn't that one for the D70s and D80. The D70 doesn't have the 4-pin port for the remote.

Hi Merco

 

You are right, that is for the D70s.

 

If it is the non 's' version then the only option is the ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control

 

I found the manual on line and the list of accessories is rather small :)

 

'ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control
T          the ML-L3 can be used to release the shutter remotely, without touching the camera or attaching a cable. Use for self-portraits or
    prevent blurring caused by camera shake.'
