Description
It would be nice to have an SFTP front end (the encrypted kind that's a part of the ssh protocol, as opposed to the unencrypted old protocol covered in #512). In particular, there is a good fuse-based 'sshfs' layer that works well on OS-X.

Brian implemented an SFTP server in Tahoe-LAFS fifteen months ago: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/browser/src/allmydata/frontends/sftpd.py
But it lacks tests. There is an open issue against it: #645 (connecting to sftp frontend using sshfs fails from linux client). Alberto Berti contributed a patch to fix this issue but his patch allegedly causes a different issue. Since there aren't tests I couldn't tell what to do with this situation and left Alberto's patch out of trunk pending someone writing tests for the two alleged issues.

Change shouldFail to avoid Unicode errors when converting Failure to str. (This patch is included in sftp-all-darcspatch.txt but is easier to review as a separate file.)
