Use the -P switch followed by the port number you want to use.
Code:
man scp
for details

You must put first the scp options and then the files you want to copy, so either one of the following will do:
Code:
scp -p -P 22040 file.mine hostname:/destination
scp -P 22040 -p file.mine hostname:/destination

thx ,

I'm not using rcp, but from the manpage I guess you need to use the -D option to specify a different port.
Code:
rcp -D 22040 file.mine hostname:/destination
