SFTP is not actually FTP.  It's actually an SSH protocol feature that
has a user interface that's similar to what FTP has.  The internals of
it are totally different.

FTP over SSL has been considered as a possibility for FTPAPI, however.
It provides the same level of security that SFTP does, but uses the
standard FTP protocl over secure sockets.  Right now, all I can say is
"we've considered it".  FTPAPI does not currently support it, it's just
a dream for the future.
