I'm not using anything in Webmin for this, the SSH module won't talk to the SSH 
server version I use.

FTP isn't amenable to being tunneled thru SSH since multiple ports are 
involved. But all recent versions 
of SSH come with a built in SFTP server and it should be enabled by default. 
So, from a command 
shell, just type:

sftp user@host

and see what happens. You should be prompted for the user's password and asked 
to accept the 
server's key. Other authentication protocols are also possible.

I don't use OpenSSH myself, I prefer the SSH from ssh.com. I'm not sure if 
OpenSSH has this capability 
or not, but the SSH I use can be set up to chroot users to prevent them from 
wandering all over the file 
system.
