Connecting to amazon lightsail ubuntu server using different ssh port
I have changed ssh port in lightsail server in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to 2200, I have enabled firewall to accept connections on port 2200. But when I am trying to connect through my local machine using command,
ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@13.xxx.x.109 -p 2200
It is showing me an error "ssh: connect to host 13.xxx.x.109 port 2200: Connection refused". Can you help me out why it's connection is being refused?

Has the key already been shared to the lightsail server, could you use it to login successfully on the default port? Also, do you need to use the absolute path to the key file?

Did you change the port that the ssh server is listening on and restart the ssh server? This is normally done in the/etc/ssh/sshd_configfile on the server you're trying to ssh into.

yes I did changed the port to 2200 and i also checked with nmap, its showing "host is up" on 2200 port of lightsail ubntu server,that means 2200 port is open on server but it's not listening on port 2200 when i am connecting through ssh using my local machine.

You need to turn on the port of the lightsail manage console.
Use Custom not SSH
Then change the ssh port to 2200
