Two problems.

1) some boxen do not have ftp running at all, just sftp. for this to
work with something like dreamweaver (which supports only ftp, not
sftp), you need an ftp to sftp bridge. get that here:
http://www.appgate.com/mindterm/
   in mindterm. it's a java app, and it works also as an ftp-sftp
   bridge. just check the docs and you'll see how it works. google for
   more information.

2) if you tunnel, all traffic is encrypted over the link. once it hits
the other side though, it gets unencrypted between the ssh daemon and
the ftp daemon.
