Securing services with ssh?

Hi!

I'm trying to find a way to secure my ftp server by using ssh2. I've
read something in the FreeBSD handbook and tried a command as follows:


ssh -2 -N -f -L 5025:localhost:21

and

ssh -2 -N -f -g -L 5025:localhost:25

My objective is that any client who wants to connect to my ftp server
has to use sftp (ssh2 over ftp).
But these commands don't work. Any help on that?


Thanks, Jochen
