Remove particular word from file

Hi All,

If my file is:

Wed Sep  9 22:45:14 EDT 2009

sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> 
This is log file generated from transfer...
sftp> sftp> sftp> sftp> Files placed properly....
sftp> sftp> sftp>

How can I remove "sftp>" word from this file? Location of this word may vary...
