which is?  for commercial-ware, I find Vandyke's "SecureFX" works well

in the case that you can't find a binary, try:

# which sftp
or
# whereis sftp

...if locate is installed, and the database is up-to-date, you can:

# whereis ftp

But in this case, sftp is definately in /usr/bin*

bash-2.05$ ls -la $(which sftp)
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  46664 Aug 17 17:18 /usr/bin/sftp

...sftp is a libexec process that's spawned my sshd on demand.  It does
not run as a seperate daemon.  Try setting the debug level in your
sshd.conf file to "DEBUG" and restart it.
