SFTP enabled Storage Account Behind Nginx Reverse Proxy

I am trying to put SFTP enabled storage Account behind nginx proxy. 

I tried with the below configuration in nginx.conf

stream {
    upstream backend{
        server <<storageAccount_private_ip>>:22;
 
    }
    server {
listen 22;
        proxy_pass backend;
    }
}



nginx service won't restart as port 22 is already in use for SSH. 

Can someone help me?

    The simplest solution is to change the port that SSH listens on.

    Port 2222  # Or any other unused port

    Alternatively, you can change the port that Nginx listens on for SFTP traffic.

    stream {
  upstream backend {
    server <<storageAccount_private_ip>>:22; 
  }
  server {
    listen 2223;  # Or any other unused port
    proxy_pass backend;
  }
}
