SSH non-default port

[Kemon]

This may help?

Edit: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Add or edit the port.
Port 22
Port <new port>

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

I use Port 22 and Port 443.
Port 22 for local and Port 443 from work ^^

Why are you changing the port ?

I have found if you secure your ssh server it does not add much to change the port.

Personally I advise you :

1. Use keys and disable passwords.

2. Block ip with multiple log in attempts. You can do this with iptables, denyhosts, fail2ban ...

You then do not really need to change the port and keeping the port at 22 just makes it easier for everyone.

While I agree with your advise on securing, he may have another reason for changing the port.

I have mine running on a different port because I only have one external IP which I need to forward to 2 internal IPs.
