Follow-up to #1372160: Does storage api work with sftp

SFTP ("SSH File Transfer Protocol") is more secure than FTP. This feature request is to add an SFTP service to the module, alongside the existing FTP service.

Possible approaches:

ssh2_sftp()

phpseclib

curl

Thanks for the feature request. If we can get more people behind this feature then we can get movement on it. We also accept patches as well that adds capability to the module. With my current workload, I am more focused on upgrading the modules I maintain to D8 and preparing for D8. Storage API is going to be my biggest challenge for this initiative!

Great! I am ramping up to get started on the SFTP patch soon. And I may be able to help with a D8 port as well, because I'm eager to move there myself as soon as possible.

I'm totally following this, I was actually looking for a way to serve some files that are stored in a sftp server of mine, in which I do not ant to have an http server!
This would be great to have!
I will help with testing and patches!
