I am trying to use ncftp to tunnel through an SSH session with no luck. This is what I am doing: <bash session 1> $ ssh -L 21:ftpserver:21 -l user -N ftpserver <bash session 2> $ ncftp -u user localhost ncftp > set passive on ncftp > dir The ncftp session connects, enters passive mode but hangs when I do a directory listing. When I look at the logs on the ftpserver, it shows the client entering passive mode then nothing else. Eventually, I will get a "Data connection timed out" error with ncftp. CuteFTP in passive mode works just fine and will connect to the remote FTP server using localhost and the ssh tunnel. If I try it on a Linux box, the ncftp client also connects but gives me a "connect failed: Invalid argument" when I try to do a directory listing. Obviously, I am missing something hear so any help would be appreciated. In case it is important, the ftp server is "Serv-U 3.0" running on NT 4 SP 6a.
