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

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! :)
