I dont see an option to set a ftp session with private key.
Someone help ?

We support pure FTP. Are you talking about SFTP or FTPS or some other form of secured FTP?

Yes SFTP or SCP for which you need to have ssl key configured.
I tried to use SSH tunneling to work around the problem.

However the data channel is not established.

Basically, the default port of FTP is 21. I set up a tunnel from local machine on port (say 9221) to dest IP and port 21.

However the data channel that you need to establish, which is on dest IP and port 20, I am not able to do.

Any ideas ?

I'm not sure I fully understand what you are doing. Why are you using port 20? If you are tunneling the local port 9221 (as you said) to the remote port 21 then you need to use localhost as the hostname and 9221 as the port number when you initiate your FTP session. You would also have to use a passive ftp mode if you want your data channel to be secure, which means that your data channel will be established on port 9221 as well. Where does port 20 come into the picture?

Does your tunnel work outside of Jitterbit? Also make sure that you are not blocking incomming traffic on port 9221
