tunnelling ftp through ssh

Hi guys

How can i tunnel ftp through ssh, so the clients' usernames and passwords won't go clear in the net?

Do i need to recompile the ftp server? In my case is pure-ftpd.

I hope there is a solution that i can apply in the client-side.

Thank you very much, Luiz Gustavo

Ok, but in this case is sshd that answers the connection, is that right?

And i need to able users to access shell, don't i?

Ok, i am going to explain, i hope :-)

If i configure the user to have a schell /bin/false, will he be able to use sftp? Or does he need a /bin/sh, /bin/bash, whatever?

thanks again!!
