There’s no ftp in High Sierra, so you’ll have to rethink that. But

Good luck trying to sandbox an app and still get it to communicate with any or
all of those. I believe there are temporary entitlements to allow some kinds of
interapplication communication, but I’d be surprised if you could make that
work within the confines of the App Store. You can’t even save to locations
outside of your sandbox except a select few that you can add entitlements for,
so you’d have to find a way around all that, too.
You’re going to need a website to give it a home page, deal with customer
support, provide documentation etc. It’s a requirement for App Store
submission, although from what I’ve seen they’re not particularly rigorous
about enforcing it.
As for self-distribution, just throw it up on MacUpdate and similar sites,
register with an e-Commerce vendor like FastSpring to handle all the payment
processing, set up a simple website to give it a home page etc and away you go.
It’s a lot simpler than dealing with sandboxing I can assure you, and you’re
typically only paying < 10% commission, including overheads, instead of Apple’s
30%.
