Yup:
root@pc:~# grep sftp /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
root@pc:~# ls /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
/usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

root@pc:~# which scp
/usr/bin/scp
Should be.

Crap, works locally. Maybe something in USF's WAN or my router is messing
it up? Last time I had to FTP from the laptop to an intermediary, then
scp fetch from there to home. PITA. I also don't have access to the
intermediary any more. I'll try changing ssh's port to see if that makes
it better.
If I can't make it work, any suggestions for file transfer? If I have to
run an ssh daemon on the laptop under XP, I will, but I'm trying to keep it
as lightly loaded as possible.
