SSH as a FTP Client?

[SpedeRacer]

I got SSH Secure Shell (Client) for a C++ class (provided by school) and it also came with Secure File Transfer Client. Can I use this as an FTP client?

I tried messing with it but I don't have a FTP server to connect to at the moment to test it.

ftp and sftp are two different things, so no. Generally, any ssh server is running sftp (on the same port) so unless the administrator has disabled it, you can use it to connect to wherever you're ssh'ing to.
