Yes you can use the tool stunnel, which allows you to create a wrapper for the connections. You can download it at http://www.stunnel.org. The site has some good documentation on uisng it.
No, it is not that easy to wrap a multi-port protocol (e.g., FTP) with single-port wrapper.
From the FAQ (http://www.stunnel.org/faq/troubleshooting.html):
Stunnel cannot be used for the FTP daemon because of the nature of the FTP protocol which utilizes multiple ports for data transfers. There are SSL aware FTP servers available. Alternitively you could use a different protocol. All versions of SSH include a program called scp which works like rcp. Recent versions of OpenSSH include a program called sftp which has an ftp-like feel. -- Regards, ASK
