For others: SFTP doc is  located in the tarball at
~/allmydata-tahoe-1.6.0/docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt

Followed instructions (keys and ftp.accounts), restarted tahoe.

port 8022 is present, but I have not yet been able to attach to the port.

"Unknown error
SFTP command failed for an unknown reason."

I probably missed something.
