Title: ping on a particular port?
Post by: rabbidrabbit on January 12, 2007, 04:43:37 PM

I thought it was a particular switch on a ping command but can't find it.  Any better ideas?   I have to ping a SSH, port 22 on an IP.

I don't think you can use ping to ping a specific port.  Telneting to the port may work or else use a port scanner.

Use telnet instead

example
c:\telnet hostname 22

ping uses port 25 by default, u can change it using portmap if u r root & u own.
default port for ssh is 22
quake uses port 26000
telnet uses port 23, but is selectable, but the other guy probably aint listening on 22

ping is ICMP based and part of IP ie same level as TCP, UDP etc. No ports here.
Port 25 is used by SMTP btw...

Doesn't matter, you can telnet into SSH on port 22 to see if it's open.

You'd get something like this:
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6
Protocol mismatch.
