I installed gFTP but apparently it does not handle the sFTP protocol. I also installed the FireFTP Add On for the Firefox browser, but when I tried to connect to the server, it says that I need putty-tools. I have the rpmforge and epel repositories configured but yum did not find putty-tools. Is there an RPM for a client program for gFTP or putty-tools? If so, in which repository? TIA!
The sftp program is a standard part of the openssh package.
Bill: Apparently openssh-4.3p2-29.el5.i386 is already installed. How do I launch it or sFTP so I can upload files from my desktop to the server? TIA! Lanny

sftp is a *CLI* program. To use it, you first need to start a terminal shell program.
On the GNome desktop, select Applications=>Accessories=>Terminal (or maybe Applications=>System Tools=>Terminal, depending out how things are set up). [I don't use the GNome desktop environment enough to know for sure. On *other people's* computers I've seen the Terminal in either of these two places.]
In the terminal window, you can then type:
sftp username@hostname:
Then you can type help to get a list of commands you can type from there.
If you want a point-and-click interface, I don't know of one. I myself actually use scp or ssh (with tar or rsync etc.) also from the command line or with scripts.
