Note that this requires the "sftp" subsystem to be enabled on the
server. It has been enabled by default in sshd_config on FreeBSD since
the early 2000s, but custom configurations may need updating.

from sshd_config(5):
     Subsystem
             Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon).
             Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command (with optional
             arguments) to execute upon subsystem request.

             The command sftp-server implements the SFTP file transfer
             subsystem.

             Alternately the name internal-sftp implements an in-process SFTP
             server.  This may simplify configurations using ChrootDirectory
             to force a different filesystem root on clients.

             By default no subsystems are defined.

Thanks Li-Wen for noting this.
