Right, thanks for the help, but the problems persist. I think the problem
is on the ftp side rather than the ssh side:
foo% ssh -L 1234:bar:21 bar
then
foo% ftp localhost 1234
fwd connect from localhost to local port sshdfwd-1234
Connected to localhost.
220 bar FTP server (SunOS 5.7) ready.
Name (localhost:phurvitz):
331 Password required for phurvitz.
Password:
230 User phurvitz logged in.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused.
ftp> quote PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (128,95,36,121,150,228)
ftp> ls

I'm using vanilla Solaris 7 ftpd. Though this is a listserv for ssh,
perhaps someone can help me with the ftp setup?
Thanks!
-P.
