ftps and sftp are different things.
sftp is a service offered by ssh; ftps is ftp over ssl, similar to https.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS

It's called sftp, and openssh does it with this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I know about that as well.
Most other users are Windows users and they then to just like to click a
link eg:
ftp://1.2.3.4
and it'll open up in explorer. (users, they don't care, as long as it
works)
# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server
Most SSH clients will do it, FTP clients may not.
And I sincerely doubt windows explorer can do it. (Which is the problem)
Assuming you mean Microsoft Internet Explorer, you should check into a
microsoft windows mailing list if this has nothing to Gentoo or even Linux at
all. There are nice sftp/scp apps for windows - winscp works great.
