iptables and scp

Hi!
The following iptables allow ssh connections but scp don't work. How could I change my iptables so that scp get through the firewall?

Code:

Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere           tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere           state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     all  --  localhost            anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Thanks.

Unless i am mistaken scp uses ssh for network traffic and so it uses port 22 like ssh.
I tried in my pc and it works.
If ssh works then scp should work too.

You're right. It works. I made a mistake.
