[ale] Ssh config question

I have a backup being run on a system that then uses scp to copy the
archive to another system. The backup is running on system A as root
and copies to system B as a normal user, e. g. scp backup.tar
normal at B.example.com. In my /root/.ssh/config file I have
Host B.example.com
Port 2222
I did a ssh-copy-id normal at B.example.com AND
ssh-copy-id B.example.com
So ssh works fine to root at B.example.com but not to normal at B.example.com
If I change the ssh port back to 22 it works as advertised, connecting
to either, but it won't connect to another user on B.example.com with an
alternate port. In the man page for .ssh/config there is a User key
word but I'm guessing that would force all connections to the host to
use that user.
Other than putting the port number on the command is there a way around
this problem?
scp -P 2222 backup.tar normal at B.example.com works.
Thanks,
Jim.
