sftp and scp uses the same method to copy data, they are just different
interfaces, one is like an ftp program and the other like cp.

what needs to be in place in order to get sftp to work, doesn't that
use port 22 like ssh, or does it utilize port 20/21 like ftp ?

Port 22. It's a config item (see tail end of sshd_config) plus a
server. It appears to be turned on in recent versions.
