[SOLVED] vncviewer with ssh port changed

[nonamedotc]

In all my installations, I change the default ssh port from 22 to something else - say 2345. I have never had any problems, of course, till now. But now, I need to start using vncviewer to connect to a computer in my research lab using vncviewer using this

vncviewer -via username@###.##.##.### 127.0.0.1:18 -geometry 1160x900

For connecting, this authenticates via ssh and does not work with my changed port number and expects 22.

I only port related option I know of is -- listen. But, as per my understanding, it has nothing to do with ssh port. Could anyone tell me how I can pass my ssh port number for establishing the connection? Thanks.

Set the default port to use in the ssh configuration file in /etc/ssh

I am not sure I understand. The sshd_config file under /etc/ssh is where I have changed the port number in the first place. The computer I connect to has port 22 open whereas mine does not.

I am looking for something analogous to

ssh -p 22 user@destination

but for vnc to understand and use, I guess(?).

Sshd_config is for the sshd daemon on the server. You got to change the other config file, the one for ssh - the client - on every machine that you use as a client.

Sweet! I did mess it up. Thanks for pointing it out. Problem solved.
