I don't want to have to stop another service like http,smtp,ftp,pop3, so
So I'm looking for another port that is most likely to work from any site.
A second requirement is that I don't need to install software on the
client side because they won't let me. (except for the ssh/telnet client
putty which is a simple executable which doesn't kneed to be
"installed"). A solution would be a java based thing like what Patrick
Lemmers suggested.
Perhaps there is also a way to encapsulate ssh into http, but what would
I have to run on the http-server to accomplish this?
I'm thinking of a php script with login that would activate/deactivate a
sshd on a different port than normal and set/unset iptables rules
accordingly. But which port to use if I don't want to sacrifice http or
ftp etc.? As a last resort I would shut down ftpd and start sshd on port
21.
What about nntp (119)? I guess this could be a good one.

It is possible to run sshd on any port you want.
Just edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config or any onter path your distro has chosen
to put sshd_config in. There is a line with the keyword Port. Uncommend
it and change the port number.
