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

scp help tells us that port is specified by uppercase P.

~$ scp
usage: scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
           [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
           [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2

Hope this helps.
