It really depends on what you’re using for SFTP. If you’re using the built-in SFTP (using SSH), then you can modify
/etc/ssh/sshd_configand changePort 22toPort 2202and then issue the command below to restart SSH for the changes to take effect.If you, however, have a firewall in place, make sure you whitelist 2202 prior to restarting SSH so that your connection doesn’t drop.
