Or, you can just have your ssh server listen on port 443. The only way
this wouldn't work is if either (1) port 443 is blocked, which is extremely
unlikely; or (2) you're behind an application firewall that detects and
blocks non-SSL traffic-- also extremely unlikely. Even the firewall at the
agency where I work, which blocks non-HTTP traffic to port 80, doesn't do
that.
Good luck,
