Change ssh to listen on two ports

Is it possible to set ssh listen on two ports?

I want to have the standard port listening as usual as this is used by rsync etc, but also to have a secondary port listening for other connections. This is because I have two servers sitting behind a portforwarding router and I want to set a second port to forward to the backup server so I can ssh both remotely.

At the moment I ssh the main one... and then ssh the internal ip from that shell!!...which is a bit cumbersome.

 

SSH can listen on multiple ports. Just add additional ports in sshd_config like this:

Port 22
Port 8888

restart sshd daemon and you are good to go.

Thanks, worked a treat.

 

^ Awesome

 

hi, this is great, but what then shall be my command in terminal?
does

ssh username@hostname ​

is enough?
I need to access the server listening to 2 ports.
I use
ssh -L 80:localhost:80 username@hostname
ssh -L 13013:localhost:13013 username@hostname
on a separate terminal
thanks!

 

To access a server on a different ssl-port, use ssl -p PORT ....

 

will sshd: in /etc/hosts.allow work for both ports or can I setup different rules for the second port?
