"sftp" usually refers to the file transfer protocol that works as an
ssh subsystem (although some use the term to refer to FTP/TLS).
In the OpenSSH implementation, sftp and sftp-server are separate
binaries that are shipped as part of OpenSSH.

The sources for sftp and sftp-server are available from:
http://www.openssh.com/
It is  possible to port these to z/OS and use them with IBM's port of
ssh and sshd.   It is very easy to configure sshd to use a different
sftp-server.

The later versions of OpenSSH rely on a newer version of the GNU
autoconf tool chain, which is not available for z/OS, so that
complicates things.
And of course, adding in the z/OS specific patches, especially to
support datasets, PDSs, etc, is a big job.
