I am switching over to linux from Windows but need to access Avaya devices via SSH and HTTPS. when I try to connect I get the message Port 22 is already occupied on entire loopback range. Is there a way to change this?
Adding more info in case someone is savvy with Linux networking.
the software I use to access Avaya system remotely relies on ssh connections that open port 22 or 443,7443 or 8443 as well as 80 from a web GUI and with this I can create tunnels and connections to multiple devices/servers, virtual machines. I should also mention that Java is used in this process. Using Windows I have no issues and when I try to make a connection and port 22 for instance is being used by another application i will get the very message I stated in my previous post and i then have to switch to a different one like 10000, etc. In Linux it seems that SSH(port 22) is being used by some internal process and researching I thought I could just change the port by editing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and changing it to a different port and then restarting but that didn't work. I am also not able to tunnel using putty, and to top all this off the putty version for linux i installed in my linux mint 19 does not have nayt option to change settings on the fly or while i am using a connection. I know this is a lot but I am really looking to get away from windows and go completely Linux and once i get past this issue I will have everything i need to do that.
