By default in the documentation "docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt" the example is as follow:

 [sftpd]
 enabled = true
 port = 8022
 host_pubkey_file = private/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
 host_privkey_file = private/ssh_host_rsa_key
 accounts.file = private/ftp.accounts

should be defined to listen on loopback interface only:

 [sftpd]
 enabled = true
 port = tcp:8022:interface=127.0.0.1
 host_pubkey_file = private/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
 host_privkey_file = private/ssh_host_rsa_key
 accounts.file = private/ftp.accounts

(same on ftpd)

This documentation looks sensible to me.
