Login with SSH authorized key with changed SSH port












1















I changed my SSH port in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and then restarted the ssh service. I implemented fail2ban and updated the port to my SSH under that config. I also then implemented the UFW firewall and allowed incoming connections to my new SSH port.



However, when I try and login with my SSH key using ssh -i /Users/myuser/.ssh/vpsssh user@555.555.555.555 it's trying to connect to port 22 instead of the defined port I have.

    Server and client do not about each other automatically. They both use the default port 22, unles is changed, on sshd_config for server, or specified on command for cliente like here

You can specify a non-default port on the ssh client command line using the -p option. From man ssh:



 -p port

         Port to connect to on the remote host.  This can be specified on

         a per-host basis in the configuration file.


You may wish to put both the port number and the identity file location for the host in a ~/.ssh/config file so that they don't need to be specified every time on the command line.



Ex.



Host myremotehost

  Hostname      555.555.555.555

  User          user

  Port          20002

  IdentityFile  /Users/myuser/.ssh/vpsssh


Then you will be able to use:



ssh myremotehost
