Are you talking of setting up a server or using a client? sftp is in
the openssh-client package and is a CLI ftp like program that using
SSH to encrypt the connection. The SSH server is in the openssh-server
package. If you looking for GUI client program I would recommend
Filezilla. Filezilla support several FTP protocols like "FTP, FTP over
SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)".
