 Refresh WordPress and it should see the sftp server and allow you to make changes that way. Note: The sftp server is public and anyone can access this with proper credentials even if it not for WordPress so use a proper password and make sure your TLS configuration is working. Your instance should now be pretty solid. The only other thing you might want is more than one WordPress site subdomain, for example, site1.cooldomain.com, site2.cooldomain.com, etc. If that's the case, then hop on over to my [[https://wiki.haacksnetworking.com/doku.php?id=computing:wpmultisite|Word Press Multisite]] tutorial.  Refresh WordPress and it should see the sftp server and allow you to make changes that way.
