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

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