What is FTP tunneling?
One of TCP/IP protocol features is a possibility to tunnel one connection through another. Therefore you can connect a common ftp server via secure SSH tunnel between server and your computer.
What is the difference between FTP and SSH?
SSH allows remote shell access as well as file transfer, whereas FTP only allows file transfer. Any data transferred via an unencrypted protocol has an unusual risk for eavesdropping, which could compromise both access to your system and the data being transferred.
Can PuTTY FTP?
PSFTP, the PuTTY SFTP client, is a tool for transferring files securely between computers using an SSH connection. PSFTP differs from PSCP in the following ways: PSFTP allows you to run an interactive file transfer session, much like the Windows ftp program.
Can a SSH tunnel be used for a FTP connection?
If you open an SSH tunnel for the FTP port, you successfully secure the FTP “control” connection. However, data is transferred over another port which is usually at the discretion of either the server or the client. This makes it difficult to open a tunnel for the port required for the data connection.
Do you need SSH to tunnel to PC?
For connection to the main Windows PC, and therefore to have access to files on other Windows PCs, you will also need to tunnel FTP via SSH. For connection to lab Macs, currently you can only use insecure FTP. If you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, don’t worry just follow the instructions below.
Why does FTP use more than one connection?

How to setup SSH tunnel using external tool?
For more complex cases (non-default SSH settings, multiple hops, FTP protocol, etc.) you need to setup tunnel using external tool. Example of such tool is PuTTY SSH client or Plink. For more information see PuTTY documentation on port forwarding .
