If I have an "ssh" account does that mean I can transfer files via "sftp"?

Probably Yes.
It's most likely you will be able to transfer files unless the server is specially restricted.

It would depend on the actual settings on the server but usually when ssh is enabled, so if sftp and scp which I find quicker, but you need to know where the file is located on the remote system and know exactly what it's called

Not necessarily. With at least OpenSSH, SFTP is a separate subsystem that can be enabled or disabled as desired. You will have SCP available though.

And just as a tip, remember there is rsync. It may be installed or not, but in certain situations that works a lot better/easier, so if it works, just try it. – SPRBRN – 2013-03-26T14:55:31.433
