[techtalk] Fix for "Can't SCP from behind a firewall"

[Raven, amateur historian]

     I believe that that will cause ssh to use a non-priviliged port
(the -P option for ssh will do the same thing), but scp still tries to
use the priviliged port for its transfers.  (At least, that was our
experience with OpenSSH.)

Cheers,
