And it comes with a compatibility mode (sftp).

  Not really: > SFTP is not FTP run over SSH, but rather a new protocol designed from the ground up by the IETF SECSH working group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol

    I know it's not ftp over ssh. I meant what I said in the context of the original comment; if ssh is the ftp replacement, then there is an application which transfers files over ssh with commands similar to those of ftp, which is sort of a compatibility mode to help ftp users migrate to ssh. (Although it is a new protocol from the ground up, it is usually used as a subsystem of ssh, thus using the same passwords and authentications and stuff.)

      Bah, I can't think of a case where the user interface of ftp is so precious it can't be replaced with rsync or sshfs.

  You're thinking of FTPS.
