Changing the Default SFTP Port

Overview

The SFTP service for version 3.x of SFTP Gateway is located on port 22 by default. However, some users may wish to move the SFTP service to that of a different port, which we will show how to do in this article.

Changing the SFTP Port

First, SSH into your VM and elevate your privileges:

sudo su

Then, edit this file:

/opt/sftpgw/application.properties

To change the sftp port you would modify this line:

sftp.port=22

To apply your changes, you would restart Java:

service sftpgw-admin-api restart

Also, make sure the port you change to is allowed access in your firewall rules.
