SSH

SSH keys are a way to identify computers, without using passwords. If you have used git, or if you are an active participant in the open-source community, you will be definitely familiar with the important role of SSH. In the case of remote servers, when using SSH logins, the server will ask for password each time you try to login. This could be avoided by adding public key to server's authorized_keys.

Most web developers & system administrators have to do SSH logins to WHM based servers to make the necessary changes there. The default port used for ssh logins is port 22. However there might be unusual circumstances where port 22 is not the default port. In such a scenario we need to identify the default ssh-port used by the server. If you are facing a similar situation then read on to know how to find out the current port being used by SSH on a WHM based server.

Generating SSH keys and using them for connecting to SSH servers is a straightforward process on Linux. But for Windows users, Windows does not provide any support for the SSH protocol by default. There is no SSH client that comes by default on Windows. Let alone generating keys.
