Changing the SSH Port
You can find the SSH configuration file at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
To edit this file, you will need to log into your server through shell as the root user.
To change specific parameters within sshd_config, you need to uncomment the line by removing the number-sign (#) and changing the value for the line. For example, the default SSH port appears in a line like this:
#Port 22
To change the SSH port to 456, you will need to make the line appear like this:
Port 456
After you are finished configuring SSH, you will need to restart the SSH daemon. You can do so by issuing the following command:
After you restart SSH, you will need to log out of your server and log in again using the proper user, IP address, and port number you specified in sshd_config.
