My Synology DS918+ is reporting an urgent security change for my ssh login.

"Change the port from the default 22 to something else. "

 

Changing the port in the Synology is simple but don't know how to change the port I log in with via Powershell. I am assuming I need to change the port somewhere in the Powershell program?

If you're using OpenSSH in PowerShell:

ssh user@host:port

 

e.g. ssh kh@192.168.1.20:928

Assumes the user is "kh", the host is 192.168.1.20, and the SSH port is 928.

Akira Yamanita Tried the following:

This worked using port 22

PS C:> ssh ruddog@192.168.86.185

ruddog@192.168.86.185's password:

ruddog@NAS:~$

 

 

This failed the port was changed on NAS Server to 1492

PS C:> ssh ruddog@192.168.86.185:1492

ssh: Could not resolve hostname 192.168.86.185:1492: Name or service not known Thank you for your help.

If it doesn’t like that format, try the -p parameter.

 

ssh ruddog@192.168.86.185 -p 1492
