How do I change my port?
-
I have the file transfer thing (FTP?) so that I can transfer ROMs from my computer to my Raspberry Pi and I connect through port 22 on my software WinSCP but I have a web UI for one of my game servers which uses port 22 so I was wondering how to change the port of my Raspberry Pi since I don't want to change the port of the server.

@mynameiskeegan That's weird, 22 is a well known port and your game server should not use it just because of these situations. Are you sure the other software is using port 22 and not other port ?
You can easily change the SSH port by editing the/etc/ssh/sshd_configfile and changing the listening port from 22 to other value. -
I double checked and my web ui uses port 22 (i don't know why i can ask my friend who helped set it up) and I changed the port to 23 in the sshd_config and it still won't connect. WinSCP just says "Host RetroPie doesn't exist."

"Host RetroPie doesn't exist."
That's not related to the port settings and indicates a DNS issue. Try to either use
retropie.localas hostname or the actual IP address of the Pi system in the connection dialog.
