The problem is that it supports ftp via the libcurl library, so easily
extending it to include sftp would require modifying the libcurl library.
On the other hand, just using plain sftp wouldn't be _that_ tough either.
But I also don't see how it would gain over using scp... except in terms of
a persistent connection, which would be more work.
