Using programs like PuTTY you can create SSH tunnel between you
r computer and server. Let's start PuTTY and create a new session:

You should set remote host address and the port, ssh service is star
ted on (22 on default).

Now you should set redirection of the port from your computer to t
he remote host port - port 3121 of the interface 127.0.01 will be r
edirected to the 21 port of the server.

Let's clear up how it works. When you start the session PuTTY will
establish connection to the server your_host by 22 port. After auth
orization (login and password entry) is performed and ssh connecti
on to the server is established PuTTY will redirect all connections
with 127.0.0.1:3121 to your_host:21 via secure ssh tunnel.

Now in profile connection settings set ftp server address - 127.0.0.

As soon as FTPGetter connects to port 3121 of interface 127.0.0.1


PuTTY will redirect this connection via tunnel to your_host:21. Thu
s, it is possible to work with common ftp servers via secure ssh tun
nel not being afraid that your data can be captured or changed by
intruders.

Therefore, it is possible to establish connection via secure ssh tunn


el not only to ftp server but also to POP3 and SMTP servers.
