FTP client with SSH support

For some reason starting this semester, I'm not able to use Filezilla in SSH mode to connect to my university's remote CS server. I used Filezilla last semester and the one before with no problems. I have the correct address and port, but it simply says

Waiting for welcome message...
Welcome Message: SSH2.0-OpenSSH4.2.0

or something like that. Then it just hangs there, times out, tries again, repeat.

So I wanna try a different client before contacting the CS dept. I dont believe its a firewall problem since I never had to do anything with it before, and Filezilla uses a Putty implementation of SSH. I can SSH using Putty to the same server just fine, but I need the FTP interface in order to upload/download files to my directory.

Basically I wanna work at home, FTP my code to the server, then SSH to that server then remote login to the Sparc one because my Fortran program needs to be computed on that. But the FTP part doesn't work?!

And I'm not aware of any way to use SSH/command-line to transfer files from local to the remote machine I'm connected to.
 
most universities have proxies for off-campus access no? I remember I have to login to the university's proxy before I can do anything. Ya, my suggestion is probably the first thing you tried anyways, heh 😛. But ya, just in case.

I use SSH Secure Shell, but...ya, it's pretty pricy heh.
 
That is sort of like it!

But from what I can tell, that tunnel is only for using Putty by itself (i.e. remote login with console/command-line). I didn't need to do anything special like and I can SSH to the remote IP without any issue.

Unless there is some sort of way to "link" my modified/tunneled Putty with the Putty that FileZilla uses? Filezilla has a FzSFtp.exe in its directory that appears to be Putty (FileZilla uses implementations of Putty when connecting to SFTP servers) but it can't be launched by itself. The only config file is .xml which doesnt contain anything that can change Putty settings.
