I have no idea what sftp-server is, but it's not what my system
uses for sftp.
The input from everyone is really interesting on this. Let me just
try and summarize this and let it go so we don't clutter up the list
or get too far off topic.
Doug, thanks for the command line suggestions, I'm all over that and
will revisit tieing it to BBEdit down the road.
Somehow I'm in purgatory with a system that does ssh and scp, but not
sftp. It's just an inconvenience at this time, not a big deal.
Below is the man page for sftp-server. It's clearly tied closely to
sshd as Google, Tim and Scot have stated, which is more than I realized.
