So in fact your problem has nothing to do with IPv6, this tells you the
socket will do both (although I can understand how that may be
confusing)

If you read "man ssh" you will see that

     -p port
             Port to connect to on the remote host.  This can be specified on
             a per-host basis in the configuration file.

So what you want to do is
	ssh 127.0.0.1 -p 33333
