I knew that lftp is the commonly used open source FTP client on most Linux
distros nowadays, but did not realize it supported SFTP as well. Thanks
for the correction, John.

lftp is completely different than sftp.

sftp is ftp "command emulation" on top of SSH, the other is standard

Maybe there are different things meant by "lftp"? The program that
Diego was talking about is a multi-protocol client. It did not
originally support SFTP, and its description often doesn't list SFTP,
but it is listed as a feature here:

https://lftp.yar.ru/features.html

Wikipedia has a short write-up that also mentions the SFTP capability:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lftp

So, no doubt you have to have a sufficiently new version of it in
order to use it for SFTP.
