i have several vms on my server,

i am tired of changing the ip in my router to port forward so i can ftp and upload files on my servers,

one of them(linux) is already configured to use port 22 for sftp, so i can upload files to that vm server

the other vm server is windows 2016, i was wondering if i could use a different port to ftp into that,

if so which port can i use? and is it complicated to setup?

Pretty much every sftp server allows you to change the port and you can use any port you want.
