Ok, I'm running a server on my linux box at Gatech, and I'll be having a couple more people with accounts on the server. So my question is how do I configure my machine to accept connections via SSH port 22, instead of the inherently unsafe normal ftp port 21.

I know there are client side aps that allow for connection via port 22, so now the only thing I have to do is get my sshd working so I can connect to my server using port 22. Anyone with any knowledge on how to do this?

:D me again.

Tell me, have you got SSH setup on the default port or haven't you installed it yet? Also, have you got the SSH program that you want to install?

I know I have SSH installed, I'm assuming it's on the default port, since when I ssh in from a windows ssh client it works on port 22.

The client side ftp clients, Cute FTP and gftp, support ssh connection.


So now all I need is to set up sftp. Which I think was included in my linux distro, but doesn't work when I try to connect using secure ftp.

I think you can ftp over SSH allready. Just use securefx for that (vandyke.com).
