I have not used the MindTerm SFTP gateway, but I can point you to instructions on using Fetch with MacSSH:

Let me know if that does not help.
Thanks,

Our ISP requires that our FTP access be secure. We've been using MacSFTP (www.macssh.com), but some tweak at their end has made that client unusable. A technician at the ISP has recommended AppGate's "MindTerm", available at info-center.ccit.arizona.edu/~consult/mac-mindt.html#mindt-inst.
I have followed its installation intructions, and its instructions for running Fetch through a tunnel set up by MindTerm, both on the mac-mindt.html page and on mac-fetch.html.
However the connection is not working. MindTerm sees Fetch's request, and logs it as
** SSH2Channel : 'open confirmation, ch. #1, init-winsz = 0, max-pktsz = 32768'
and Fetch reports "Error: the server dropped the connection (it may be too busy)." The transcript gives no more information:
Connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 21 (4/24/03 12:45:19 PM)

I would gladly accept:
Suggestions for making Fetch work with MindTerm
