Sftp is a part of the SSH suite, and is not a daemon. It is a command that allows you to do FTP transfers using SSH encryption. If you want a server solution, look at vsftpd.

sftp doesnot manage anonymous connections

I overlooked that . Scrap what i said

If you think about it, SSH needs you to authenticate. I don't know if anonymous FTP is possible at all with encryption. It contradicts one another in a very blatant way if you ask me. Anonymous FTP is considered a vulnerable service, the first way you fix that if you don't pesky nosey parkers is by making users authenticate. If you want to secure the transfers themselves, you use sftp for stuff like that.
You might be able to tunnel it over SSH though, but then again, users would have to authenticate with the SSH server.
