As an scp user, this article was not a great advertisement for sftp. It listed a whole host of problems that don't apply to me, then finished with:

"[sftp] disadvantage is a much less friendly user experience, especially in cases where one simply wants to type a command and see files move."

I just want to copy a file. I'll keep using scp.

I had that thought too, but rsync should mostly replace it. I have run into situations where rsync isn't available so scp -r has been helpful though.
