It really doesn't sound as if what you're calling a "tunnel" is what anybody
else here would consider a tunnel.

Your employer is blocking outbound to port 22, right?  So you need to
connect to an SSH server on a high port number?  Or even on port 80.

I'm quite uncomfortable encouraging you to do what is obviously a violation
of your employer's security policy, but in WinSCP you just need to specify
the port number of your "tunnel", not 22.

If that isn't what you want, why don't you tell us exactly what it is you do
with PuTTY - all this guessing is too much like hard work.
