I don't know about sftp, but have you tried tramp? This allows
ange-ftp like transfer of files over a whole host of different
protocols, including "su" (so you can edit files as root, without
running a root emacs), and also "ssh". It probably works with sftp as
well, but I can't say for sure.
Cheers
Phil
