Changing the Default SSH Port · SFTP Gateway Support

Overview

The OpenSSH service for version 3.x of SFTP Gateway is located on port 2222 by default. However, some users may wish to move the OpenSSH service to that of a different port, which we will show how to do in this article.

Changing the SSH Port

First, SSH into your VM and elevate your privileges:

sudo su

Then, edit this file:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

To change the ssh port you would modify this line:

Port 2222

To apply your changes, you would restart OpenSSH:

service sshd restart

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