But just setting up a VPN doesn't mean you're using SFTP does it?
http://www.tiem.utk.edu/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=1&topic=sftpsftp is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp(1), which performs all operations over an encrypted ssh(1) transport. It may also use many features of ssh, such as public key authentication and compression. sftp connects and logs into the specified host, then enters an interactive command mode.

SFTP, or secure FTP, is a program that uses SSH to transfer files. Unlike standard FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over the network. It is functionally similar to FTP, but because it uses a different protocol, you can't use a standard FTP client to talk to an SFTP server, nor can you connect to an FTP server with a client that supports only SFTP.
http://www.weonlydo.com/index.asp?showform=SFTPwodSFTPdll is tested and works great with all OpenSSH versions, as well as SSH (from SSH Communications Security Corp.) which are most common on today's servers, but has been also tested on others too. Different server implementations handle some sftp features differently (for example, some add / to the end of each directory name) but wodSFTPdll has no problems with those. If there is a problem - we will fix it or add certain feature on your request.
http://tucows.rmplc.co.uk/preview/217252.htmlThis supports secure terminal emulation and encrypted file transfers with SSH1 and SSH2 servers. When this connects to a server, it will automatically determine whether that server is compatible with either the SFTP (Secure FTP) or the SCP (Secure Copy Program) protocol. SecEx also has built-in safeguards to protect against IP and DNS spoofing, which provides added security when you are connecting to a server.
This has a clean, multi-paned graphical interface that makes it easy to navigate through the files and folders on a server. If you want to access the server using a terminal, this can also open a secure command prompt or a secure X-11 terminal for you.
