First, be sure of what you want. RFC2228 is the security extension to
the normal FTP standard which it nothing to do with the sftp command/
protocol that's part of SSHv2 (except confusingly using the same acronym).
Compare:

(See also: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/secsh-charter.html)
Assuming you want SSH's sftp, read on. Otherwise, you'll need to
ask elsewhere.

OpenSSH compiles on Cygwin out-of-the-box (barring bugs) and Redhat
provide OpenSSH-on-Cygwin binaries. The clients (ssh/scp/sftp) work
fine as-is, the server requires some setup but also works.
Someone recently posted details of a patch to port OpenSSH to Interix
(aka Microsoft Services For Unix). Apparently the server also works
although I haven't tried this at all:

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
