why would using "sftp" require disabling "vsftpd"?

Sure: telnet and telnetd
      rlogin and rlogind
      ssh and sshd
      ftp and ftpd

Which actually makes me surprised there wasn't a `http` client sooner. Not
surprisingly, there actually _is_ one in Fedora -- try `yum install
/usr/bin/http`. And it actually looks kind of nice. It's got colors. :)
