OpenSSH cannot tunnel FTP sessions. The problem is "catching" the "PORT "
command on the control channel and then hijacking and forwarding the second
(data) channel. SSH.COM does it, OpenSSH does not.

And it doesn't work:
benecke@get1418:~$ ftp-ssl backftp.unibw-hamburg.de
Connected to backftp.unibw-hamburg.de.
220 Welcome on UniBwH NetGroup SafeSpace !
Name (backftp.unibw-hamburg.de:XXXXXXX): XXXXXXX
234 AUTH SSL successful
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.

There is a SSH tunnel for access to all the services here, and you can
either use built-in SSL to connect to the servers directly or tunnel via
the 'ssh tunnel' provided by one server.

Yup. But I'd use fish:// in Konqueror if I had direct SSH access, which I
don't. :-)
Thanks for your help,
