Subject:   Letting scp through a firewall using ipfilter

I'm trying to get my firewall to allow scp through. It currently 
allows ssh in, but it appears that scp creates an outgoing connection 
from the remote machine back to the originating machine. Anyone know 
how to solve this problem?

The firewall spits out:
22/06/2001 14:22:12.543474 xl1 @0:21 b 24.1.2.3,22 -> 216.1.2.3,1007 
PR tcp len 20 10240 -AR IN

When I try to:
scp user@24.1.2.3:/usr/home/user/filename filename

I'm using ipfilter.

thanks
-Michael
