John is correct except that SSH can be configured to run on any port,
including port 80, if you like. It's not restricted to port 22. Many
people I know have begun configuring their SSH to listen on nonstandard
ports as an additional measure of security.

I was in an ISO meeting at the British Standards Institute in London
some years ago where they routinely blocked outbound connections on all
ports except 80. One option I considered was running back to my hotel
and reconfiguring my server to accept SSH over 80, though instead I was
able to talk them into allowing my hwaddr access to port 22 outbound for
the week I was in that meeting.
