  If you can force your FTP client to use a specific listening port for the
data channel, you can do this.

  PASV is much tricker, because the server picks an arbitrary port, which the
client must connect to.  You could do this by debugging the connection,
looking for the server's port, and then setting up a second SSH session to
forward that port as well, but that is rather disgusting.
