Perfect, so you don't need ssh running on your box because there is no
initiation of a connection to your box.  The only exception would be
if you wanted to copy files from their system to yours using scp.
Then I believe you need sshd running on your box to allow the incoming
secure cp.

So shut down sshd (thus closing port 22).  If you are using a
router/gateway then I imagine you must have had to set up port
forwarding on it for incoming port 22 traffic.  You'll want to remove
that as well (as suggested, layers of defense).
