vsftp - which stands for "Very Secure FTP", is a plain old FTP tool. sftp - which is the SSH FTP protocol, passes trafic over an SSH connection, so all traffic is encrypted, therefore should be more secure, though might be a little slower because of the encryption. With vsftp, any ftp client program can connect. With sftp, you must use a sftp capable program - like WinSCP, or even sftp from the command line... Hope that helps a little.
