Please look at the "/etc/services" file on your machine. It will show
that 22 is the SSH port, 80 is the HTTP port, and 443 is the HTTPS
port. A stack of people use 443 for their SSH servers, because few
corporate firewalls block it, while many do block port 22 as a matter
of policy. But unless your target server is running SSH on that port,
don't be surprised.

By the way, you can use "nc" on most systems more efficiently to see
what a port says when you connect, rather than burdening the test with
ssh clients.
