I had to check, but I guess sftp is not exactly suitable for my usecase.

My problem
- the whole communication is to be intended to work like a drop box.
  - one can upload files
  - one can not see, what one has uploaded before
  - no way to accidentally overwrite a previous upload, etc.
- I don't know enough about sftp servers to know how I could configure
it to act as a drop box.


That's much easier to hide behind an https server than behind an out of
the box sftp server.
