Follow-up Comment #1:

Yes.  Sylvane Beucler found and reported a security vulnerability which we
needed to close and unfortunately that required disabling sftp access. 
Because we didn't have an alternative at the moment that would allow it.

Both scp and rsync can be used to upload files. However rsync has a problem
when using options such as -a to preserve permissions.  Here is the
documentation.  See the examples other than sftp for scp and rsync.  Please
use one of them for the moment.

This does break the ability to remove and rename files.  Sorry.

This is definitely something that we need to understand and to address in some
way.  But we just haven't had time to actually do it.  :-(

In the meantime if you have something you need to rename or remove please
don't hesitate to simply ask us to do it for you.  That will be a good
motivator that we need to get this fixed up!  There are a few things like this
on Savannah already.  I am sorry but that is the best I know to offer at this
time.  But I completely agree that it needs to be addressed.  It is no fun
when you are missing necessary access.
