I would say that the current drafts of sftp tend to the porcine, but the
older ones are quite lean.
For example OpenSSH's sftp-server, which implements v.3 of the protocol,
is under 30kb, and it could be shrunk if the buffer API and support code
common with the rest of the implementation was linked into a shared
library.
Actually, OpenSSH's scp binary is slightly larger:
[djm@fuyu djm]$ size /usr/libexec/sftp-server /usr/bin/scp
text data bss dec hex
23708 684 2436 26828 68cc /usr/libexec/sftp-server
27750 752 896 29398 72d6 /usr/bin/scp
