        "content": "In Windows 11\u2019s Command Prompt (or PowerShell / Windows Terminal), you use the `ssh` command with `-p` to specify a non-default port (default is port 22). The syntax is:\n\n```\nssh -p <port-number> <username>@<hostname-or-IP>\n```\n\n### Examples\n\n- Connect as user **alice** to example.com on port **2222**:  \n  ```\n  ssh -p 2222 alice@example.com\n  ```\n\n- Connect as user **bob** to IP **192.168.1.50** on port **8022**:  \n  ```\n  ssh -p 8022 bob@192.168.1.50\n  ```\n\n### Notes\n\n- `-p` must come *before* the `username@host` part.  \n  (If placed elsewhere, the command won\u2019t work as expected.)  \n  ([linux.wiki](https://linux.wiki/docs/commands/networking/ssh/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- If no `-p` is given, `ssh` assumes port 22.  \n  ([ionos.de](https://www.ionos.de/digitalguide/server/konfiguration/windows-11-ssh/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can also show you how to use SSH identity files (keys) or other options along with a custom port."

Download a single file from remote to your local machine:\n\n   ```\n   scp alice@remote.example.com:/home/alice/file.txt C:\\Users\\YourName\\Downloads\n   ```\n\n2. Download a file using a custom port (say port **2222**):\n\n   ```\n   scp -P 2222 alice@remote.example.com:/home/alice/file.txt C:\\Users\\YourName\\Downloads\n   ```\n\n3. Download a directory recursively (use `-r`):\n\n   ```\n   scp -r alice@remote.example.com:/home/alice/projects C:\\Users\\YourName\\Downloads\n   ```\n\n---\n\n### Common Options\n\n- `-r`: recursively copy entire directories  \n- `-v`: verbose mode (see debug output)  \n- `-C`: enable compression  \n- `-i /path/to/private_key`: use a specific SSH key for authentication\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you're running this from Windows or Linux, I can show you any platform-specific tweaks (like paths and quotes)."
