Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) does not require two-factor authentication, you can choose to do so for a more secure connection by requiring both a user ID and password as well as SSH keys. The creation of SSH keys aids in preventing spoof connections to the SFTP server.

Is a certificate required for SFTP?

[Sven]

As it uses SSL, a certificate is needed. As an extension of SSH that enables file transfers, SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol/Secure File Transfer Protocol) typically uses only the SSH port for data and control
