No, there is no sftp support: I'm running DropBear, which is a ssh server
with low memory usage. Therefore, it is suitable for NAS or media devices.
However, it has not built-in support for sftp (although it seems it can be
added with a hack, but I did not succeed).
Bottom line: no sftp support ;-).
