Does sftp root privilege only? I think everybody can use it so SUDO here is irrelevant.

With sudo you can ensure that the only way that a person can run the application is by using the sudo application.

You can restrict ALL commands - even 'ls' if you choose.

Give me what to do with /etc/sudoers for a sample user-a that can ONLY access sftp?

By the way, even if I'm a regular user, I have access to sftp?!?!?!?!?!?
