Re: [CentOS] Running SSH on a different port

...

...

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config replace "port 22" with "port <whatever high port (> 1024) you like>"

Then configure your ssh clients accordingly.

So I added Port 2977 Under Host *

So I have: Host * Port 2977

I rebooted and I get a connection refused now when I try to connect.

I am doing: ssh -p 2977 user@ip

My firewall is set to allow 2977.

Just for shits I changed this to 29770

I ran: system-config-securitylevel-tui and customized and added 29770:tcp to other ports

I then: nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config and said Port 29770

So that I have: Host * Port 29770 Protocol 2

I then did: service sshd restart

and I still get connection refused. Comment out Port 29770 and all is well again.
