Not at the moment, but I'll ask around inside Novell. > I need to send a file to a remote server who > requires ftp over ssl. I made a mistake and assumed that sftp was the > same thing.

You don't have to do anything to enable it. As you mentioned in your first paragraph, though, sftp is a distinct protocol from FTPS, so you can't use that to talk to an SSL-enabled FTP server. If you're up for building your own package from source (using RPM, of course), I know that lftp supports FTPS. If you really, really need something that works until I can find an answer, that's one option.
