What steps have you done so far?

In the SSH terminal

Code: Select all

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

change where you put #Port 22 by Port xxxx
(xxx = put the new port)
(without #)

To save the change: Ctrl + o + enter
("o" vowel, not number)
To close and exit nano: Ctrl + x + enter

Then

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/ssh restart

Best to use: service sshd restart

As init.d is only for centos 6.
