FTP is an ugly protocol, I don't know that ssh (BTW, the the magic
would need to be in the client not the server)

FTP is an ugly protocol and I don't think ssh should have special-case
code for it.  (BTW, the the magic would need to be in the client not
the server for the common case).

If your client supports SOCKS, and both client and server support FTP
passive mode, you can already tunnel FTP with DynamicForward.

Incorrect information out on the internet is somewhat out of our
