"sftp" was a supported Tramp method in tramp-sh.el in the past. However,
it also needs an ordinary "ssh" connection. This doesn't work, if just
the sftp subsystem is enabled on the remote side, but ssh is disabled.

Therefore, Tramp's "sftp" support was moved to tramp-gvfs.el, where it
seems to work properly. However, tramp-gvfs.el has its own limitations,
it requires GVFS and D-Bus (roughly, a GNU/Linux system).

Best regards, Michael.
