Would there be any advantage tunnelling my Internet activities through a VPN connection rather than directly using untrusted open and close networks? I really need to update my website but unfortunately, my current public wi-fi network has FTP disabled. Would tunneling help me with this issues of blocked ports and disabled protocols?

VPN has several advantages. Outsiders can not see what is going on, even on public networks. The disadvantage is that it requires a ISP with GOOD uplink speed to make it usable. If you have files of any size to transfer.
Some routers allow you to change the default port. This is a easier solution. VPN can be a bastard to setup.
VPN and tunneling.
