Interesting.

I don't think so... indeed, searching for sftp support in Videolan I
reached this version release status/changes:
***
http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS
Changes between 1.0.6 and 1.1.0:
(...)
Access:
* Support for the sftp protocol
***
So, it is supported, or at least it should be supported in 1.1.0. But, at
what level? By launching the media resource using file browser (nautilus,
dolphin...), by direct opening "file → open..." or by requesting the
source using an sftp client?
Diff providing sftp support is here:
New sftp access module.
http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=modules/access/sftp.c;h=8da576495327dcfe2236f21871dd9c4abe869839;hb=631a992c7bbbc9da57526c2c4edae036d6c26a78
Make a quick test:
vlc sftp://user:password@host/path/media/file
