I think this is probably due to the problem of sftp-server not being in the 
search path since it is installed in /usr/lib/ssh (at least for MDK 8.1).  If 
in gftp you go into ftp>options ssh tab, you can set the ssh2 sftp-server 
path to be /usr/lib/ssh and things will work (don't check any of the check 
boxes).  You can also ste this path for each bookmark I think.  I also 
believe that you can create an slink to sftp-server from someplace in the 
normal search path.  This problem is mentioned on the gftp web site.
