    Ok, so I would like to try the following:

    client(s) <---> A <---> B (ftp-server)

    When clients connect to a specified port on host A, A forwards
    that port through a ssh tunnel to the ftp-server at B. It should
    be transparent to the clients. It should also be able to handle
    more than one connection at the time.

    ex:
    1. client X connect to host A at port 3434.
    2. host A forwards that port through a tunnel to host B
    3. B is the chatting with the ftp-server and tunneling all
       ftp-traffic back to A.

    Is there a way to do this with ssh? Or is IPSec a better solution?

    Also, - is there a ratio patch to sftp-server (openssh)? I've been
    unable to find one.

    Thanks!
