Openssh and sftp rely on pam, which you can figure out to offer multiple
authentication sources, but remember they can be different, as can
authorizations (ftp, and/or ssh/sftp), so ssh may not be necessarily
tied to ftp and vise versa. If not a dedicated system in some fashion,
you might not have root access.
If it is dedicated, what ftp daemon? Depending on it, it may not use
your /etc/shadow file passwd, or pam at all. They are otherwise usually
tied to ldap or sql as most hosting solutions do for "shared hosting"
systems if not dedicated. If they do they allow ssh logins for your
host, it'd have to be dedicated or virtual-dedicated (or containers like
docker). They're not likely to give up ssh on a shared host, lest you
have fun in a sandbox with everyone else having root to your system too.
Ftp is the option usually as a common denominator for hosting co's,
because it detaches from local auth to something more centralized like
ldap or sql vs. a bunch of passwd files floating around to manage (even
if via puppet or whatever) across thousands of local files across
systems, though just as bad one still has to manage a local account none
the less.
