SSH port on hosting server will be changed
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2020 10:26 am
I've received this notification from UK2.net. Do I need to do anything regarding wysiwygwebbuilder ?
"The SSH port used to access your shared hosting server will be changed from 22 (default port) to 2233 (alternate port) from the 1st December, 2020. This change will only affect you if you connect to your server(s) over SSH or SFTP protocols; if you only use regular FTP, no changes on your side are needed.
We have chosen to remove access to server(s) over the default SSH port to provide improved security for our clients, especially from Brute Force Attacks. In addition, we encourage all our clients to use secure complex passwords if using SSH.
The new alternate port is already active and available for use, so you are able to re-configure your SFTP/SSH software to use port 2233 for SSH at your convenience. The default SSH port, 22, will be closed on 1st December, 2020.
Please take note:
• For Filezilla FTP manager or similar you will need to set the "Port" field value to 2233.
• For Putty, alter the SSH port from 22 to 2233."
