Can anyone recommend a decent SFTP client to run under GNOME?

I've been quite happily using KBear on my previous Mandrake installation (couple of years old), however i'm now running Ubuntu and KBear is not offering SFTP as an option.

I cannot find any information at all on what else is required in order for KBear to provide SFTP support. The documentation just says "The protocols available depend on your system". SSH is installed, and I can sftp from the command line no problem. So having given up on that.... any suggestions?

Ta!

I use gFTP as my graphical FTP client, I believe it handles secure FTP:

[gftp.seul.org...]

It is available in the usual Ubuntu repositories, I use it in Kubuntu.

Nice client! I like the way you can just bookmark where you are and it saves the account details and local / remote directories.

I actually got KBear to reveal SFTP support in the end (had to install KDE's protocol libs), but I think i'll give gFTP a go for a while - looks good so far.
