Linux SCP defining destination port

Capital "P".

$ scp -P 12345 svn_backup.tgz user@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:/path/to/new/svn/

See $ man scp for more details.

It's also noteworthy that the port specification must come before the file name, i.e.:

scp svn_backup.tgz -P 12345 user@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:/path/to/new/svn/

*won't work.
