Migration in P8.0 fails Cannot send scout to the remote host

I am trying to migrate Plesk data from a server running Pesk 7.5.4 to my new host with Plesk 8, but migration manager fails with:
"Cannot send scout to the remote host"

Unable to connect to host theotherhost.com: Connection refused

I guess it may be the ssh port used at theotherhost.com being non-standard, but... where can I tell my Plesk 8.0 to use that custom port number ?
 
Have you tried setting the source host as IP/domain:port-to-use?
 
I get the following error message:

Cannot send scout to the remote host

Failed to execute scout.
The return code is 1
The output on STDERR is


What can I do?

I'm not the owner of the source server, I'm only a customer of that hosting company.
