Re: [android-developers] SSH Port 22

That is the case. We've been running it on a higher port number, but we want to get it to the default ssh port. I'm hoping there's some way to do so in the app space since it is intended to be an extensible Android shell service. We do have system level access of course since it is our own Android installation. I'm still looking for the best solution.

I am working on a custom device running Android that needs to support ssh access. It would be best to run the ssh server on port 22. We have a working SSH implementation, but we can't run it on port 22 right now. Is there a way to do so using system level APIs, or will I need to get root/create my own something in the framework?

I'm not 100% sure this applies to Android, but on some [or all] Linux distributions, applications trying to bind on ports below 1024 (or so) usually require elevated privileges, such as being run by root or one of the "system" users. It's possible that this is a requirement on Android as well, since it's based on Linux. As a test, try binding to a port above 1024 and see if it works.
