Thanks for asking! Actually with that phrase I stress somewhat of a misnomer for the program - "sftp". Some kind of comparison would be, if something like a web browser gets the name as "http".
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. :)
A colorized curl! :) BTW 'HTTPie' is a cool name, why change it in 'http'!?
The [d]aemons ending with 'd' regarding a naming scheme are OK, e.g. /usr/sbin/smb[d] /usr/sbin/ssh[d] /usr/sbin/http[d] /usr/sbin/vsftp[d] /usr/sbin/rpc.gss[d] /usr/sbin/rpc.nfs[d] /usr/kerberos/sbin/ftp[d] /usr/kerberos/sbin/telnet[d] others with original names, e.g. /usr/sbin/dropbear and other less original, e.g /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server are also OK.
The clients who distinguish from the protocols are also OK, e.g. /usr/bin/lynx /usr/bin/lftp /usr/bin/links /usr/bin/elinks /usr/bin/putty /usr/bin/puttytel /usr/bin/dbclient /usr/bin/smbclient
All other apparently confuse people! :)
