sftp just isn't that bright. scp is probably a better bet if you already
know where you want to copy files.

The docs for sftp imply that another ftp program could be used instead
of the standard sftp interface, as long as it complies to a certain
interface. I haven't had a chance to figure out how to do that with lftp
(king of commandline ftp) yet. If you want to I would be forever
grateful.

In fact, if you wanted to extend gnome-vfs so that Nautilus and family
could use sftp as a backend, I would be even more grateful. ;-) Ah, now
that would be nice...
