    Ah, now that really is interesting. One of the things that I've been
    confused about is whether sftp needs to connect to a machine that has an
    ftp server running on it, or whether all that needs to be running on the
    machine you're connecting to is sshd.

    Excellent. I've used this method to connect to other machines before,
    but the machines in question always had *both* an ftp server and an ssh
    server running on them. I know sftp is part of ssh, but I've never been
    clear on whether all it requires at the other end is an ssh server, an
    ftp server, or both.

    Best, Darren
