Description:
When using remote administaion via ssh, it appears that even when a non-default port is used e.g 2222 workbench still uses the default ssh port 22.

How to repeat:
Change SSH listening port to 2222
Setup remote administation in workbench and attempt to connect with the correct details.
Connection via ssh fails.
Check logs and see workbench is using port 22 still.

Hello Brendan,

Thank you for the report.
I tried to reproduce this issue and confirmed that MySQL Workbench 8.0.13, connected to MySQL Server hosted on Ubuntu 18.04(sshd listening on non-default port i.e 2222) using connection method TCP/IP over SSH - no issues observed i.e using 2222 sshd port.

## Ubuntu 18.0.04, sshd port 2222
ushastry@BionicBeaver:~$  sudo netstat -tpln | egrep '(Proto|ssh)'
