In the video Nick uses 18765 for the port number, where do you get this port number?

In the video he uses the port number 18765 is this number included in the email? is it totally random? I don't really understand how and where he got that number from.

Who ever sets up your sFTP will tell you what port to use. Typically the SSH daemon runs on Port 22, however some sys admins feel that it's better to have it on another port like 2222 or another non-standard port (there's some debate over the usefulness of this). In this case Treehouse runs SSH on port 18765.
