How to specify port for network location in Files/Nautilus

In Files/Nautilus, the default file browser in Gnome, how can a non-standard port be specified when connecting to remote locations? I’m asking for SSH in this case.

In “+ Other Locations” accessed from the sidebar it is possible to enter a server address comprised of a protocol prefix (ssh://) and an address (hostname/ip), but nothing is mentioned of port numbers.

Never tried though.
Something like ssh://myname@somehost.com:2202 did not work?

That worked, thanks!

[protocol]://[server][@host][:port]

A small mention of this in the documentation and/or tooltip would be good.

it is actually more like this:
[protocol]://[username[:password]@][host][:port]

examples:

ftp://guest:anonymous@fileserver:8021
https://securewebserver:8443
gopher://docserver

Maybe it is considered as common knowledge and therefore not specifically documented.
