Write access via ftp is not allowed when connecting anonymously to an ibay (and that's what you are effectively doing).
To get write access to an ibay using sftp, I suggest you read the manual very carefully (the ibay chapter) as it is quite explicit re how to do this ie you connect as a valid user and then cd\ to the ibay using your sftp client.
There are other issues with doing this re controlling what the user has access too, so search on ftp and sftp for concise answers re the dungog contrib you need for better control of this functionality.
