Careful. Despite the name, sftp has almost nothing to do with FTP. It
is a remote filesystem access protocol - philosophically rather like
NFS, though the details are totally different - run over an SSH-secured
connection.
There _is_ a version of FTP secured by
TLS/SSL/whatever-it's-called-this-week, but that's FTPS, not sftp.
So make sure you know whether you want FTP, FTPS, sftp, or whether more
than one of those would do for your use case.
