How to use SFTP over a non standard SSH port

Carlos Spohr–Linux–

Hi there,

With you’re getting problems trying to open a SFTP connection over a non standard SSH port, such as 220, you can use -o args to pass port number, like this:

[bash]sftp -oPort=220 user.name@yourserver.com[/bash]

In -o argument, you can group all extra parameters for connection. If you want, you can see docs at:
