Don't go to the casino just yet...you weren't so lucky ;-) Your link
shows how to setup ssh *as* a SOCKS proxy (a nice feature which I use
daily).
If you re-read what I said, I noted that openssh does not have support
to ssh *through* a SOCKS proxy. putty ssh and putty scp (even the
winblow version) have options to connect to a remote host via a socks
proxy. This has proven handy in the past when I needed to quickly scp a
file from my workstation to a remote network that I had SOCKS access to.
