We have successfully disbanded FTP internally because of the hassle it gives network admins, and the many combinations and thus problems in interpreting the non-protocol it is. We have named it 'File Transfer Problems' internally. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie for specific details. We've had problems with almost all of the mentioned problems in some sort.
I take it must be trivial to take sftp functionality from other projects and implement them, or to roll your own.
