Hi Steve, sftp is a sub-specification of the SSH protocol (you'll surely find the RFC or just http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol As for a Java library, Eclipse has been using http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/ for years in order to provide the SSH channel for CVS, and since 3 years I'm successfully using the same library to run sftp inside Eclipse as part of my project http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm
I've been told that there's another Java library for SSH (Ganymed) and some claim it's better, but I haven't looked at it http://www.ganymed.ethz.ch/ssh2/ I believe at Eclipse we couldn't use this since it seems to include all cryptographic code and Eclipse can't just go ship / export crypto code that easily.
