Dave, When looking for a client, search around for the keyword "sftp". The protocol is really ssh2 running over port 22 and has little to do with the ftp protocol running on port 21. psftp is a program from the putty suite.
Jacob mentioned coolftp, but I'm not sure if that is no-cost. I mentioned a windows client that is "freeware" but I'm not sure if that really means no-cost ware or "free speech" ware.
