Wait, what do you want exactly?

'sftp' is typically thought of as a secure file transfer subsystem to
OpenSSH.  It sounds like you might be getting it confused with FTP
over SSL, sometimes called SFTP and also FTP/S.  Pretty much only
OpenSSH implements the true SFTP protocol, but you mentioned several
other FTP servers that may also support FTP over SSL.

Which were you hoping to set up?
