Hello Alex,

'ssh' is attempting to look up the DNS _name_ '127.0.0.1:33333';  if you
want to port different from the standard 22, you can use '-p' [Port]:

  ssh -p 33333 alex at localhost

and if you're using 'scp' you need to use a capital '-P'

  scp -P 33333 filename.txt alex at localhost:new_filename.txt

as '-p' means preserve attributes (timestamp and permissions), which is
there as a compatibility to the old unencrypted 'rcp' [Remote CoPy] utility.

Hope that helps and you can go back to running your normal kernel!  ;-)
