title: Using SSH over the HTTPS port
|
|
intro: 'Sometimes, firewalls refuse to allow SSH connections entirely. If using [HTTPS cloning with credential caching](/github/using-git/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git) is not an option, you can attempt to clone using an SSH connection made over the HTTPS port. Most firewall rules should allow this, but proxy servers may interfere.'

{% tip %}
|
|
|
|
**GitHub Enterprise users**: Accessing GitHub Enterprise via SSH over the HTTPS port is currently not supported.
|
|
|
|
{% endtip %}
|
|
|
|
To test if SSH over the HTTPS port is possible, run this SSH command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ ssh -T -p 443 git@ssh.github.com
|
|
> Hi <em>username</em>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
|
|
> provide shell access.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If that worked, great! If not, you may need to [follow our troubleshooting guide](/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey).

|
### Enabling SSH connections over HTTPS
|
|
|
|
If you are able to SSH into `git@ssh.{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}` over port 443, you can override your SSH settings to force any connection to {% data variables.product.product_location %} to run though that server and port.
|
|
|
|
To set this in your ssh config, edit the file at `~/.ssh/config`, and add this section:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Host {% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}
|
|
Hostname ssh.{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}
|
|
Port 443
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can test that this works by connecting once more to {% data variables.product.product_location %}:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ ssh -T git@{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}
|
|
> Hi <em>username</em>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
|
|
> provide shell access.
|
|
```
