How to check if a particular port is open?

  • In terminal type the following command to check open port. For Example, we tried checking Port 22 on our server.

    netstat -lntu | grep 22

    If the port is open then this will show the details for the port along with the protocol used.
    If you see no output then that means the port is not open or running on your Linux Machine
  • If you want to check all the open ports then kindly run the following command

    netstat -lntu
