I assume you also installed openssh-server??  On RedHat's web site, the
file list for openssh-server (2.3) shows this file:
/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server (and that's where the file got placed on
my 7.0 box).   If you installed from rpm my guess is they forgot to change
that default setting in sshd_config (my sshd_config listed
/usr/libexec/openssh/openssh/sftp-server for some odd reason).  See if you
have the file in /usr/libexec/openssh (or do a search for both sftpd and
sftp-server using 'find . -name filename -print' from /).  Wherever you
find either daemon, point the subsystem reference there and my guess is
that it'll work after you restart sshd.

As a side note, we do sftp rather than ftp over ssh.  But if you're going
to use VanDyke's SecureFX to do it, get version 1.9 'cause version 1.8
doesn't do sftp.

Hope this helps,
