I didnt quite get you there - how does a web interface use sftp? Java applets or something?
Regarding file upload/download, I agree with you that there should be a better way. Alternatives that I can think of which would be:
1) WebDAVapache supports webdav, and MSIE has it built in, though probably wouldnt work as effortlessly on non windows machines . there is also a FF windows only addin http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/
I like this approach as it allows single/multiple file drag and drop. 2) Using the PUT method.This was meant to be the way for placing files on the server using the HTTP protocol. unfortunately i think it didnt achieve critical mass amongst web users and slowly fell into disuse. apache dosent support except through a script though there is a mod_put available here - http://perso.ec-lyon.fr/lyonel.vincent/apache/mod_put.html and i doubt any web browser supports it.
3) Use scripts on the server side - simple ones like the one i sent or more complex ones like what picasa uses.
one of the biggest problems i face with uploads is that typically file transfers cannot be resumed over HTTP. dont know if dav allows resume and if clients support it.
