Some servers, and some clients, only support one of them. I’ve run into servers without sftp and subsequently stopped using it, as scp always works.

Also rsync does not exist on windows, for instance git bash has only scp AFAIK.

A while ago I tried making windows' remote differential compression COM library work in a CLI utility like rsync.

You can install cygwin on windows. This will provide sftp, rsync and lftp which is awesome for doing rsync-like transfers on sftp-only chroot setups.
