What your sysadmin said is not quite true. For instance, I'm on FC5 and FC6. Both have full 64-bit support for openssh protocols 1 and 2. There is also a 64-bit rpm for Net-SSH-Perl. Now, he may be confused about the meaning of SFTP. For our purposes, SFTP means "SSH File Transfer Protocol". If openssh is installed, then it's supported. On the other hand, SFTP could mean "SSH File Transfer Program"---that's more for commandline clients and not really what we're talking about.

I think the real problem is that the sysadmin may have had a problem installing Net::SSH::Perl. It has some dependencies that are extremely difficult to install---Math::Pari and the Crypt modules. Math::Pari is the major stumbling block. There are 64-bit rpms for pari and Math::Pari. If he can't get it to install properly, then the Crypt modules won't either; hence, the Net::SSH::Perl installation won't be satisfactory.
