I had the same issue at College... they allow only port 80 and 443
*outbound*.  My resolution was to have my home router forward incoming
traffic on port 443 to my server's on port 22.  Then I tell my SSH
client to use port 443 for outbound traffic et viola it works. Of
course, since WinSCP also uses SSH, this works nicely too. :)

(This does presume that you're not running an https server on :443)
