scp with port number specified

Question

I\'m trying to scp a file from a remote server to my local machine. Only port 80 is accessible.

I tried:

scp -p 80 username@www.myserver.com:/root/file.t         


        

Answer 1

This can be achived by specifying port via the -P switch:

scp -i ~/keys/yourkey -P2222 file ubuntu@host:/directory/
