No no, you misunderstood me, after installing HestiaCP, SFTP is disabled and you cannot log in as ROOT user.

SFTP isnt disabled by default, there was a bug, that on some systems sftp wasnt enabled.

SFTP should work out of the box for hestia users, but usualy root isnt allowed to login by default sshd configuration.
