I regularly use ssh tunnels to circumvent firewall problems.
Basically, it requires a few simple and readily available tools (ssh, nc).
For example (under linux), it can be as simple as setting up the file
$HOME/.ssh/config
Host contextgarden.net
ProxyCommand nohup ssh firewall_host_name nc -w1 %h %p
Then,
rsync -e ssh -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
just works...
(This scheme requires nc [netcat] be available on the firewall)
