Probably not. Just use the sftp server in your linux distribution.
Is it possible to call the sftp server in Linux from Wine? (Provide code here...) This would solve the problem the OP is experiencing because of the use of low ports (as is the case with another program the OP reported on) which are not available to a normal user and forces the use of root as a workaround.

None of those will work on Wine anyway. There are other correct ways to do that on *NIX.
I'm of the opinion that this 'user' wants the implied security of Linux, or its 'freeness' rather than put out the money and time to set up Windows 2008 Server, which is required to get the full functionality of GlobalScape FTP. Sorry, but Wine is NOT a replacement for this Operating System and probably never will be. It is an implementation of the Windows32 API, functions depend on the version of Windows(TM) selected. We will not and should not get into file permissions beyond that of what the base operating system provides. This will limit what functionality is available for some programs.
I agree with your statements above. If the OP took the time, there are solutions to what is needed. And some of them are lengthy and complicated to implement. And it involves more than just setting up IPTables and TC.
