Well, regardless which sFTP you are talking about, the two most common 
once just use one port in either case:
- "Simple File Transfer Protocol" is just using TCP/115 and
- "SSH File Transfer Protocol", as it is a service over SSH, is just 
using TCP/22.

That is the default port in either case, unless you explicitly changed 
either port of either application.
