sshd on alternate port list

| | TrackBacks (0)

I have been using ssh to my debian box on the other side of the room, but was curious if I could ssh into denver and back out to this box... The DSL provider I use blocks certain low order ports, but with a flexible system like GNU/Linux I can pick my own ports:

-p port
Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections
(default 22). Multiple port options are permitted. Ports speci­
fied in the configuration file are ignored when a command-line
port is specified.

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
add a new line with the Port number you want:
# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
Port 22
Port 8022

Checking this TCP-IP, UDP-IP, TCP, UDP Ports - 8,547 ports should reveal a suitable alternative. I chose 8022 since 8080 works for web traffic and is easy to remember. ymmv
