I'm not familiar with WinSCP in particular but I'd bet my left arm it's
nothing much more than plain vanilla scp with a pretty dress on. Which
means you don't need any "tunnel". The program uses SSH natively, or
rather SSH has the ability to enable file transfers, and WinSCP taps
into that.  However you want to look at it, the transfer is as secure
as SSH is. There's no need to tunnel one SSH connection through
another one. :)
