Good SFTP Clients?

Joel Parker Henderson writes "To improve security, my company is switching servers from Microsoft to RedHat, and from FTP to SFTP. The new RedHat has SFTP-- secure FTP with SSH and host fingerprints-- and I want to upgrade our people to use it. What are good SFTP clients? Priorities: an easy user interface, point-and-click renaming of remote files and folders, recursive directory transfers. Useful: drag-and-drop, resume broken transfers, synchronization of local and remote directories, written in Java, shareware or freeware. Thanks in advance for advice!"

Re:gnome-vfs?

This is one of the reasons why I enjoy using KDE because of the kioslave named kio_fish. This lets you enter URLs of the style:-

fish://<user>@<host>/path

This means that you can securely connect to your remote server, browse the file system, open up a text file for editing (or a graphic file or whatever) with the appropriate GUI tool on the local desktop and then save it back to the remote filesystem completely transparently. Greatly reduces the pain of secure remote administration.
