can any tell me the difference between ssh_config and sshd_config file?
please explain in detail..

ssh_config is the default configuration for the ssh client - when you use the ssh, scp or sftp commands to connect to another machine.

sshd_config is the configuration for the ssh server, the service you connect to.

More details are available with 'man ssh_config' and 'man sshd_config'.

I have a vps server. I just changed ssh port to 100 from 22. But now it is not logging into it.
please help

Did you restart the ssh server? Are you overriding the default port in ssh_config? Is there a firewall that blocks port 100?

To ssh to a port 100 ssh server:

Code:

ssh -p 100 servername

after changing , i restarted the service ssh with this command
service sshd restart
but now it is not logging in

It's always a good idea to add the new port to the ssh server and test before removing the old one. You'll need to contact your vps provider and have them correct your configuration if you have no other access.
