Is secure FTP (sftp) using SSH (port number 22) always possible when there is ssh available? Currently I’m using PuTTY for SSH. I want to upload files using CuteFTP Pro.
Or do I need ftp server on the server-side?

No, on the server side you need an sftp-binary as well. OpenSSH ships one they call sftp-server. Usually resides in /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server (on a Debian machine for example)
CuteFTP has support for sftp. But keep in mind that your server needs sftp-server on that end first.
