>> >:/ I don't really get what the -P option does!? Does it mean that I'd have to configure sshd to listen on that port instead?
>The -P option makes ssh use a non-priveleged local port (in this case, you're
using 1022, which is priveleged). Your firewall may be having issues
sending/recieving packets on privileged ports (i.e. ports less than 1024).
And no, you don't have to reconfigure ssh. Just go
ssh -P 140.203.12.14
and see if that works.
