Further to robin's comment, the port defaults to 22, which means that your
firewall must leave this port open for ssh and scp to work. (Port = hole in
the firewall, I am sure there are more technical explanations but..)

If you wish to open another port then ssh (or scp) needs to be told to use
the different port

From experience, if you leave port 22 open on your network firewall you
will receive numerous requests for connection. If these upset you, set ssh
to listen on another port (this is not security, just cuts down on some
rubbish)
