thanks, that works, but the problem is that I have two open connections now,
but I need actually only one. Furthermore the command

myhost$ ssh -L 1234:hostb:22 hosta

gives me a promt back, so I have to open a window and to make small and to
open a next one for the command

myhost$ ssh -p 1234 localhost

That works, but in my opinion it is not user friendly.

you don't need to use
myhost$ ssh -t hosta ssh hostb
use this instead:
myhost$ ssh -L 1234:hostb:22 hosta
myhost$ ssh -p 1234 localhost
or
myhost$ sftp -o 'Port=1234' localhost
