How do I change the port that sftp is listening to? I have sshd set up to use port > 2000 and would like to do the same with sftp.

I'm pretty sure that sftp listens on the same port that the ssh daemon is listening on. To be more accurate, sftp uses the ssh daemon and opens an additional channel for file transfer. Just curious if you've tried to connect with sftp using port 2000? You'd have to change the client sftp command line to connect to the non-standard port. Something like:
| Code: |
sftp -oPort=2000 user@servername
|

this last line worked. I'm using psftp (putty).
code: psftp -P port user@servername
Thanks for the tip.
