You can ask your clients, what SFTP tools they use. If then mention Putty or 
OpenSSH, then it's definitely SFTP.

SFTP is part of SSH protocol family. SFTP is a binary protocol, which is not 
compatible in any way with regular FTP.
You can use SFTPBlackbox and it's components for Indy to add SFTP 
capabilities in the way, similar to IdFTP component, i.e. using similar 
calls.

With best regards,
