The files app on ios works with smb. . . it's not sftp but it works.

Even with SMB, it is very painful to use - you can't create bookmarks and if a connectivity test fails to the server - it gets removed from the list and you have to add it back again.

Not sure but I think moving files within the same share also takes a round-trip to the iPhone.

I'm still not sure why we didn't get a normal file browser from the start. It is a solved problem and everything rolled out for ios has been a regression.
