Setting up an SFTP Server is never been easy, this is due to the fact that you should know how to securely set up the network, port, and generate the SFTP Server keys. Besides that latter, you should also need to create a user credential in order to connect with any SFTP client. Before diving into what program or tools we can use to easily set up SFTP Server, we should understand what it is and how is it compared to regular SFTP clients.
In computing, the SSH File Transfer Protocol (also Secure File Transfer Protocol, or SFTP) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream.

So by definition quoted above, As you can see that SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol which is a way for transferring files securely in remote sessions. There are two aspects here as you are probably wondering who authorize the sessions. First, the client will attempt to be authorized by the server then the server will provide that session meta info to the client such as a fingerprint. Note that during the first authentication the client needs to accept or decline the fingerprint if matches the fingerprint given by the server(third party).
If the client and server agreed to each other during session establishment then the client can download or upload files securely based on the permissions given by the server provider(third party).
