Centos 6 cannot ssh externally?

You are running the daemon on port 2222
So edit the sshd conf file to put it back to 22.

Kind regards

Dear Repo,
So currently my ssh is running on 2222 that means to edit it the right file is the sshd_config and why when we do ssh -vvv just now is pointing to 22? After changing I must change the router port forwarded back to 22 right?

yes

because ssh default connect using port 22, hence that's why you use the -p option, to change the port.

Dear Repo,
Thank you for the help. I am confuse which -p are u referencing to # in the sshd_config is it?

repo@cannabis repo]$ ssh -p 2222 60.50.38.221

so the -p option tells ssh to connect to the ssh server using port 2222 instead of the default 22

Which file must I edit to edit the default ssh port?

sshd_config, so it will listen on the port you specify.

Kind regards
