SFTP is based on SSH, so you need to edit the user on the server if you want to change it.

Like @Geekologist said, SFTP is basically using the SSH protocol. You could do anything of the following:

  • Create a new user and delete the old user adduser newuser and deluser olduser
  • Make a new password for the current user passwd

This should help
