This was a good thought, but the methodology is flawed.  All you've done is 
change the virtual terminal access service to the console.  the SCP server is a 
separate process that still binds itself to port 22.  So even though you 
changed the SSH port, the SCP port is still listening on port 22 (this would be 
why you don't have to set an ip domain-name or generate a set of RSA keys when 
you enable the SCP server on the router).  try turning on a debug ip packet 
while you're testing, and you'll see where it's connecting to.  Excerpt from 
mine while testing with your setup in GNS3 after I started the copy.  My SSH 
server was running on a Loopback of 150.1.5.5.

Subject: Re: [Pauldotcom] using an alternate port with Cisco's secure copy (scp)

Here is the config to change the SSH port, thereby changes the SCP port...

The lab build is two routers back to back using GNS3, running 2691 - Cisco IOS 
Software, 2600 Software (C2691-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T8, RELEASE 
SOFTWARE (fc3)

r1 = SCP server
r2 = SCP client


#############  change the host name and enter a domain name
hostname r1
ip domain name name.com<http://name.com>

#############  Generate the RSA key
crypto key generate rsa

#############  setup a user name for login
username cisco privilege 15 password 0 cisco

#############  change the SSH port and assign a rotary group
#############  The rotary group is mostly used for Async ports, but can also be 
used with VTY ports.
ip ssh port 2200 rotary 1
ip ssh version 1

#############  define an IP address
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

#############  enable the SCP service on the router
ip scp server enable

#############  modify the VTY config to be a member of the rotary group and 
allow ssh transport
line vty 0 5
 login local
 rotary 1
 transport input ssh


#############  from "r2" test the SSH login

r2#ssh -l cisco -p 2200 192.168.1.1
Password: <enter cisco for the password>
r1#exit  <-------- close connection
[Connection to 192.168.1.1 closed by foreign host]
r2#

#############  Now try the SCP...

r2#copy startup-config scp://192.168.1.1:2200/new.txt<UrlBlockedError.aspx>    
<------------  note the port....
Address or name of remote host [192.168.1.1]?   <----------  note there is no 
port..that is ok....
Destination username [r2]? cisco
Destination filename [new.txt]?
Writing new.txt
Password: <enter cisco for the password>
!
723 bytes copied in 10.832 secs (67 bytes/sec)
r2#

#############  now verify the copy on the "r1" router
r1#dir
Directory of flash:/

    1  -rw-         723                    <no date>  new.txt

16777212 bytes total (16776424 bytes free)
r1#


Done.....I hope this helps....
