If you have ssh access, you have sftp access. If your company still uses rlogin and ftp, then get a new job before they get hacked and blame whoever touched the server last.

I use a petaflop system everyday to run computational simulations. The tape system is accessed via rcp because it's connected via intranet to the login nodes. I'm not saying ftp over the internet has valid uses, it probably doesn't, but if it's in a controlled environment, why not? What's next, is mac going to obsolete telnet? There goes a host of quick tests you can utilize on a home network.

  telnet doesn't exist on my Mac (High Sierra). It also doesn't exist on my linux server (Debian 9). Easily fixable with `brew install telnet` and `sudo apt install telnet`.

  Nitpick: By telnet, you probably mean ncat. I don't think there's anything on a contemporary home network that speaks RFC 854.

That's not true - both sftp and scp require server-side support. You can have ssh, but without sftp or scp. OpenWRT ships in this config by default, for example (https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/sftp.server https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/sftp.server). The only thing that would work in this situation is FISH.
