It's easier to talk about the similarities between SFTP and FTP than the
differences.  The only real similarities between the two protocols are
1) the names 2) that they interface to a filesystem.  Other than that,
they're two entirely different protocols.  The Interfaces that Conch's
SFTP implementation uses are twisted.conch.interfaces.ISFTPServer and
ISFTPFile.
