OpenSSH can open SSH2 tunnels too, surely?

There's ftp-ssl, although it's not graphical.

As for SSH tunnelling, do you really mean FTP tunnelled over SSH2, or do
you mean SFTP? If so, both the ssh and putty-tools packages come with
sftp clients, and I believe both GNOME (with gnome-vfs-sftp installed)
and KDE support SFTP in their file managers.

There's also hsftp.
