[lug] SSH Tunneling FTP

[Warren Sanders]

I'm trying to port forward FTP on a Windaws box using SSH client PengiNet.
The registered version I have does port forwarding to or from remote
system.  By testing, I would disconnect the SSH connection to see if the
FTP would die.  In all tests, FTP continued as normal, proving the ports
were not forwarded.  I must not understand the concept.  So without going
into a lot of detail on what all I did, could someone explain some do's
and don'ts of port forwarding?

In a nutshell, I would forward port 21 to say 4421 on the SSHd and FTPd
destination.  Also tried forwarding SSHd FTPd destinations 21 to local 21
but that produced a binding error due to it already being use.

Thanks,
