open ssh port (22) to connect to other box

#1 (**permalink**) 09-13-2008

Hi
Do I have to open my ssh port if I like to connect to another machine?
- if yes, how?

Or is that only if I want to access my one computer from the outside?

I run Mac OS 10.4 and like to access a unix box on the other side.

You shouldn't have to open a port unless you've manually enabled and applied ipfw firewall rules.
