Or in OpenSSH version 2.5 (or thereabouts - I don't remember exactly)
and later. The ssh in sid (2.9p2) has it, and I would guess that
woody's version should have it too.
If you must use potato, though, potato has an "sftp" package, but this
is different from the sftp protocol used by ssh, and you may run into
problems when you upgrade your ssh package (and indeed, sid's ssh
conflicts with sftp, although sid has an "hsftp" package which seems to
give the same functionality as "sftp" did).

A fourth alternative is to use rsync through an ssh link.
A fifth alternative, if you use emacs, is to get the TRAMP package,
which is like ange-ftp on steroids. There's a tramp package in sid (and
maybe woody), or you can download the source from
http://ls6-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de/~grossjoh/emacs/tramp.html

Unless you use passive mode.
