Thanks James

I think problem is port forwarding, ssh tunnel is not working from freeTDS.

The SQL Server is not in localhost, but it is in machine called
db_server. Access to db_server is restricted to mid_server. I created
tunnel with

$ssh -L 1433:db_server:1433 user@mid_server

The above port forwardign is working for Navicat. I can connect
localhost:1433 via Navicat and access all database in db_server. I
also can telnet localhost 1433. So main problem is freeTDS not working
port forwarding. Is there any way to get this work?
