cannot log in to the server after changing SSH port












3















I am using putty to connect to my Ubuntu 16.04 VPS.



I decided to change the default SSH port from 22 to 443.
I did this changing the line 



Port 22


in /etc/ssh/sshd_config



to Port 443



Now when I am trying to connect to the server using port 443 I get the error saying "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"



When I try to connect to the server using port 22 I get the error saying "Network error: Connection refused"



The server is up and running I just cannot connect to it anymore, is there anyway to fix this?






ubuntu networking ssh linux-networking port

          • Use the system console (out of band connection) if available.

          • Use the VPS recovery boot to mount the VPS disk and then edit the sshd_config file to reset the port to 22 from 443.


          Less optimally




          • Boot a new VPS instance, configure as per the first instance using your configuration management tools and recover from backups.

                    Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                    Image
                    6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
