Next, open the SSH configuration file and change port 22 to any value between 30,000 and 65,000.

Run the following command to open the ssh file.

```
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
```

Now, uncomment the port, remove 22, and set it to any port number.

Also, uncomment the `PermitRootLogin` directive and change its value from `no` to `yes`.

Also, comment out the PasswordAuthentication **no** line.

After this run the ssh restart command&#x20;

```
systemctl restart sshd
```

Here is the corrected sentence:

* **Now access the server using the changed SSH port.**
