Is anyone familiar with how I can print out a complete inventory of the folders and files contained on an SSH SFTP Dreamhost site? I would like to be able to print/view a list of what is out here on a regular basis. I use WS_FTP professional as my software but their Tech Support says that thier software cannot do this through SSH. Any ideas?

Well all the contents?
use the cli... logon
ls -lahR
And if you're using putty or some other client configure the lines saved on a high number :D

For commands with long outputs, you can redirect it to a file:
ls -lahR > ~/listing.txt
You can also try: find ./ -print (this will list all files with their full paths.
Even more fun: Use the 'tree' command. It's quite impressive.
