ssh forwarding

[judhkqkhsd]

so i have a webserver setup right now. My router forwards all requests from port 80 to that machine. Do I need to do the same for port 22 if I want to be able to SSH into the machine? I cant imagine why I wouldnt, I am just at work and unable to alter my network/webserver because I cant ssh into it!!

How would I handle the situation of wanting to be able to ssh into two different machines on my network? Would I just use a different port for one of the machines and use it as ssh?

cheers

Yeah, you need to forward the port. To use two different servers via SSH, you can just change the port, or SSH into one, and then SSH from that to the other machine inside the network.

Or you can forward a different port on the outside to 22 on the inside to prevent changing one of the server settings. I.e.: port 4242 on the outside forwards to port 22 on machine2.

Indeed. I know I can do that with my router, but I don't know if all routers let you do that, so I didn't mention it
