Isn't this in the FAQ? (should be if not?). FTP can only be forwarded
through an ftp-aware proxy, so that must be built into the SSH client for
it to be able to fully do what you want (NOTE: only SSH2 can proxy
non-passive ftp connections fully). However, iff the server allows data
and command connections from different hosts (and there are no
"distractions" in between such as a firewall which wont let you through)
you can "ssh-forward" the ftp port and have the command channel encrypted
(hence protecting the password).
