Hi!

I have an AC68U running 380.59 Merlin and I would like to be able to access the FTP server using an SSH Tunnel.

Using Putty I am able to forward connections for any http service running in any port, even those in other devices connected to the LAN. Was able to access the config UI (local port 80 to localhost:80) and even SickRage and CouchPotato running on a RPi, but nothing happens when I try to forward any local port to "localhost:21" to try and access the FTP server. I know it is up and running because I am also connected via OpenVPN and can access it with the LAN IP, but I would like to be able to use an SSH Tunnel in case I need to access it without a VPN connection, any ideas on where to begin debugging this?

Thanks!
