@ChrisDavies I was not questioning whether SFTP is part of SSH standard (I do not even thing that this answer claims that [or the opposite]). I just reacted to the "resources" and "modular system" claims – while those have probably been valid decades ago (when sftp-server was separate), they are not valid anymore. And even when sftp-server was separate binary, it was a never separate deamon, so it has imo nothing to do with the OPs question.

The SFTP server is built directly into OpenSSH SSH server (sshd) since 2009. See serverfault.com/q/660160/168875
