Starts an SFTP server on the given port. The server listens for connection of an SFTP client.

Options are:

{cwd, String}
  Sets the initial current working directory for the server.
{file_handler, CallbackModule}
  Determines which module to call for communicating with the file server. Default value is ssh_sftpd_file that uses the file and filelib API:s to access the standard OTP file server. This option may be used to plug in the use of other file servers.
{root, String}
  Sets the sftp root directory. The user will then not be able to see any files above this root. If for instance the root is set to /tmp the user will see this directory as / and if the user does cd /etc the user will end up in /tmp/etc.

For more options, see ssh_cm:listen.
