Use SFTP or SSH without port 22 open?

[supertanno]

At my school, we have both ports 21 and 22 blocked. Is there any way I can still use SFTP and/or SSH without those ports?

If you can find a way to get the services you want on port 443 you can almost always get access to it. This is because 443 is used for https:// and is end-to-end encrypted so proxies more-or-less "have to" let it pass.

Well, I found this: http://blog.bitbucket.org/2010/12/17/por...o-problem/

But I have no idea how to use it, so... .

You can change it to any port you want. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to change it.

So if I'd set the port to, let's say, 443, would I be able to access it anywhere? Also, what part should I have to change?

Change this line:
Port 22
and replace it with
Port 443

Finito.

If wherever you are accessing it from allows ssl sites then yes. If you want to be able to access from virtually everywhere try port 80, but you will not be able to host a web server if you do. Port 53 may be a good choice as well since that is used for DNS servers.
