| Using SSH over the HTTPS port | 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:
$ 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.
Enabling SSH connections over HTTPS
If you are able to SSH into git@ssh.{{ site.data.variables.command_line.backticks }} over port 443, you can override your SSH settings to force any connection to {{ site.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 {{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}
Hostname ssh.{{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}
Port 443
You can test that this works by connecting once more to {{ site.data.variables.product.product_location }}:
$ ssh -T git@{{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}
> Hi <em>username</em>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
> provide shell access.
