As far as I can see gftp supports sftp, which should be available if scp
works. It is a ftp server with encrypted connections that comes with
the openssh server. On Debian Woody it is activated by default if the
ssh server is activated. The settings in gftp can be found in the FTP
menu => options => SSH.

Konqueror can be configured to use a split layout like the Midnight
Commander or many ftp clients have. I think that layout is predefined.
Check the settings menu and look for something like "load profile".
