hmmm ... it appears that I might be the one that is not quite right ... I was positive that there was a less-featured usage mode over plain old SFTP.

Either way, having the borg executable on the server side is the "correct" way to do things.

borg does either use a directory as repo (no matter whether local or mounted via network fs) or works client/server via pipes that are usually over ssh (in that case, it needs a remote borg process to talk to). instead of ssh, one could also use anything rsh-like, but of course ssh is the best option here.

no sftp inside borg (nor anything else).
