Restart SSH on Mac Terminal (High Sierra)

restart-ssh.bash

# high sierra
sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd
sudo launchctl start com.openssh.sshd


# latest
sudo vim /etc/services # (update the port config for ssh and save)
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist

Thank you for posting - my ssh-agent was really jammed. Keep up the great work.

Welcome man @cndcourt

That helped me in my case, thank you!

I had an issue with connecting to my server where I got an error:

port 22: Connection refused

Reseting ssh solved the issue :)

@nicksowl Glad, it helped.

this worked for me on macOS Sonoma

as doing sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd gave me Not privileged to stop service. error
