You are seriously mistaken. Tight encoding is just an encoding, not a
"protocol inside protocol". It does not allow to encapsulate other
encodings. Indeed, Tight encoding has subencodings (e.g. JPEG) but the
set of subencodings is fixed and they are integral parts of the Tight
encoding and just allow to encode data in different ways depending on
the statistical properties of that data.

TightVNC does not include anything like "FTP-like transfer related
encodings". File transfers are implemented via TightVNC extensions to
the RFB protocol, they do not use any encodings, they use new protocol
messages.
