If you are making an outbound connection just specify the port number
with the -p switch
i.e. ssh ad...@host -p 1022 or whatever

Thanks Peter. Tried your suggestion. Still no joy I'm afraid. Using
Terminal though, there doesn't appear to b anywhere to specify a non
standard port number. Any idea how I go about that? Terminal appears
to default to port 22 according to the Terminal window, but I need
to stipulate a different port number (which JellyfiSSH allows me to
do.
Cheers, Steven

Thanks for all the help fellas.
I've followed suggestions, and reached another snag.
In case this is relevant to my problem, I'm trying to access a
Windows server running freesshd, from a remote Mac running latest
Leopard.
After I run JellyfiSSH, I launch MS RDC for Mac, and after
spinning its wheels for a while RDC returns the message "The Mac
cannot connect to the Windows-based computer" followed by a few
suggestions about the Windows server possibly not being set up to
accept remote connections, the Windows server is not on, or the
Mac or Windows machine is experiencing network problems.
The first two suggestions aren't valid because a Windows user has
confirmed his remote access is working fine when I couldn't. So I
suspect it is something I have wrong in JellyfiSSH.
The Windows IT guy I've been speaking with, who can access the
Windows server remotely but isn't familiar with the MacOS, gave me
the detail of what to enter into JellyfiSSH after I sent him some
screenshots. He suspects my access problem may have something to
with JellyfiSSH being a UNIX focussed tool, but just guessing. He
wasn't sure of what option to choose for the field "Shell'. The
options are bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, or /bin/zsh.
We went for the first one. So there's my first question - anyone
know which Shell option I should choose?
The "Type" option appears to have two settings. The first
selection he was sure about, and that was SSH 2. The second
setting he wasn't sure about. The options are des, 3des, blowfish,
3des-cbc, blowfish-cbc, cast128-cbc, arcfour, aes256-cbc. We ran
with aes256-cbc. Second question - anyone know for sure which
option?
Hopefully I can avoid having to try 40 different combinations of
Shell setting and the Type setting.
Something else that may provide a clue.
When I click Connect on JellyfiSSH, a Terminal window appears
asking for my password. I enter the passord, and the cursor drops
to the next line, and presumably the password has been accepted,
though there is no confirmation of that. I then click Connect on
RDC, but what happens then is that in the Terminal window the
following appears ...
client_input_channel_req: unexpected channel -1
Any hints most welcome.
You don't really need any third party software to run an SSH
session. Simply open Terminal on your Mac (/Applications/Utililites/
Terminal). The default shell is bash, and you shouldn't need to
change this.
Go to "Shell" in the Menu Bar and choose "New Remote
Connection...". You will be able choose any of ssh, sftp, ftp and
telnet, and you can add more if you know how. Click the "+" sign
below the "server" pane and enter the IP address of the computer
you are trying to connect to. Terminal should handle the rest.
