As far as I know - generic port forwarding does not encrypt the data channel, but it can be configured such that the Data channel is forwarded through the SSH tunnel. The only exception to this would be if the SSH server were not to be on the same physcial machine as an FTP server. Assume this is correct, comments? Cheers, R. <Cut> FTP through ssh is only able to secure the control channel and does not protect the data channel. Better methods of file transfer over ssh are sftp, scp or rsync. If you want to use the FTP protocol and need it secure look at TLS FTP <Snip>
