I know how to change the port number through the config file of sshd but I want to know how do you change any port number for any service without going into the sshd condfig file or for any service in any case. Thanks.

  • I was going to recommend using an ssh tunnel but it seems like you're trying to change the ssh port itself?

  • @Jesse_b Have you read it? A general guide/magical formula to change any port in any existent service in Unix. ssh is just an example.

In short, you can't. A service will run on the port decreed in its configuration file or, if absent, generally a default.



This can be worked around with firewall shenanigans (e. g. listening for an incoming request on TCP/8080 and redirecting it to TCP/80), but that does not change the port the actual service itself is listening on.
