   What does sftp
offer that would benefit an anonymous FTP setup?  the big thing that you have a
problem with with FTP is the passive
 vs. active issue.  I don't think there is any advantage in sftp
 related to that, 
There is, actually; sftp runs over only one connection.  (Calling it
sftp is actually misleading, since it makes it sound like a mutant FTP
that is somehow secured.  It's not.  It's a remote filesystem access
protocol run on top of an SSH-secured connection.  Data and control are
multiplexed over the same TCP-level connection.)
