Yay!  One more nail in the coffin of insecure protocols :)

Unfortunately, hitting some bugs with current CVS against sftp-server
from the same CVS checkout.

If you try to change to a non-existent directory, your next command
always leads to a "xfree: NULL pointer given as argument" and sftp
exiting

Trying to GET any files gives me "Couldn't close file: No Such File"

Versus the sftp-server in 2.3.0p1, the client just fails horribly,
hanging at the end of an ls, and showing the same symptoms as against
the current CVS sftp-server for a get.  Not sure if that's expected or
not :)
