How connect through sftp on Midnight Commander with non-standard port?

How to connect through sftp on Midnight Commander when the remote machine is using a non-standard port?

In Midnight Commander one can make an sftp connection to a remote machine using:

cd #sh:userATexample.com:/home/username/

How can this be done when the remote machine is using a non-standard port?

I have tried...

cd #sh:yourusernameATexample.com:[port]/home/username/

...as well as using Shell Link in the menu and entering userATexample.com:[port]. Nothing works.

Does anybody know?

Hey,

I am able to establish an SSH session using this syntax:

cd sh://user@server:1234/tmp/

Yeah, that's right. I realised that sshd was not listening on any ports at all on the internal VPN interface, which I was trying to connect to.

Cheers
