While it's very easy to connect using putty from this machine, a Windows Surface 3, I seem to be stuck when using the console:

Can I perhaps pass that as an argument through a configuration file? Could be user error (me), could be that the service is overloaded or down for other reasons (but then why ask for the password), or could be, maybe, some oddity with this computer(?).

ssh is not telnet with its general syntax of telnet server port. I believe even in Windows the basic usage of ssh is like:
ssh [-p port] [user@]server [command] You did ssh 2220. You connected to the default port (22) and 2220 was the command.
It so happens there is a server on port 22, but this is not the server that accepts the credentials you know.
The command 2220 was never invoked because you failed to authenticate in the first place. Instead of 2220 it could have been anything, it wouldn't be invoked either.
You want to connect like this:
ssh -p 2220
