[Twisted-Python] SFTP Server and Cred Example?

Yeah, I have an admin tool for Rational ClearCase written using Twisted. 
For ClearCase MultiSite, a repository can be replicated to a different
server and kept up-to-date by sending packets to the server at regular
intervals.  The method ClearCase uses for shipping requires like 60,000
ports to be open which is pretty messed up.  I wanted to have a solution
with an SFTP server and client both implemented in twisted as an
alternative shipping method.  I wanted it implemented in twisted just
because that's what everything else is implemented in and it'd be cool to
not rely on any other software.

So I'd just run a command that creates a packet, and then send it over
via SFTP.  And ideally it'd be hooked up to cred so I can use the same
user db I use for the rest of the application.

Does that answer your question?
