For the benefits of all the noobies who will follow me, here are my results:
Method 1: I downloaded my certificate file and I logged in as the root user via SFTP successfully. Method 2: I also created a user and made it part of the of the administrator group (btw, the proper command would be /usr/sbin/usermod -G adm bob). It lets me connect via SFTP, I can download from the server, but uploads give me this error: The attempt failed because the server was unable to process it.
