these are the steps I followed to change the default ssh port
- login to compute engine instance using gcutil ssh
- cd /etc/ssh
- sudo nano sshd_config --> changed the port to some number lets say for the example: 1111
- saved and exit
- sudo service ssh restart ---> [ ok ] Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
- open a new terminal and repeated step 1 ---> ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused ----> the change succeded
- went to my GCE console and added a firewall with the tcp:1111
tried to connect again with gcutil ssh ---> ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused I'm not following why after enabling the port 1111 on the GCE gcutil ssh still tries to connect on port 22
INFO: Running command line: ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o CheckHostIP=no -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /Users/MyUser/.ssh/google_compute_engine -A -p 22 [email protected] --
what am i missing? should I download my ssh key again after changing the port? and if so how do i do that?
