using FTP trhough a SSH tunnel ( RELOCATED )

[cadlg]

Hello everybody.
I would like to know if isn't possible to send and receive files using FTP through a ssh tunnel open with plink or putty.
Currently I'm using Telnet from within an application (windows) which connects to a Debian server through a ssh tunnel and execute various tasks, and it's working fine, but now I want to do something like that but with FTP (forwarding local port 21 to port 21 on the linux server).

Once the tunnel is open, I can connect with the server, but when I send a "put" or "get" command I get this message: "Unable to build data connection: Connection refused".

I tried this on 2 different Debian machines with the same results.

Any ideas, comments or help will be really appreciated.

Hi cadlg,
Simplest way to do it in Windows is to run ftp in command line.

Or otherwise, you can use any FTP clients available for Windows. PSFTP is very small FTP client available for download from the same PuTTY, Plink website.
