Welcome @oy_delovoy.
Two things, it looks like you are running on a fairly old version of Rockstor (3.9.1-0). It might be worthwhile running the update (since you are showing the arrow next to the version already).
Additionally, if you can provide the outputs for:
systemctl status sshd.service -l
and
journalctl -xe
right after you get this error message, when trying to remove the sftp share. This might give a little more insight on what is going wrong here.
your root user should be really the only have read-write access to that file. In your case, it seems that user does not. If you made changes to that file with another user (or put it there from someplace else) that could have had an effect on the file permissions, and in turn make the daemon startup fail … and then also stop you from removing the sftp share …
I saw in the earlier screenshots that your ftp service was off: did you disable it, or wouldn’t it start up?
I was able to delete sftp entery, but I also can not enable sftp service

@oy_delovoy, glad to hear you were at least able to remove the sftp entry. So, the remaining (bigger) issue is now the ability to start the sftp service itself.
I hope, @phillxnet or somebody else has a better idea, but, personally I would attempt to run the upgrade on the install (as indicated by the arrow next to your RockStor version in your first screenshot above:
The WiFi icon next to your Linux version also indicates that there are other package updates. The Rockstor update might address the sftp service issue by rectifying some of the settings. The better part is, that with the latest releases the backup of your Rockstor/Rockon settings has been vastly improved by @Flox, so that, in case the ultimate solution is to reinstall the RockStor app (without losing your shares/information) you can preserve your settings and reimport them.
