I don't know how sftp would be better? 1.) You can specify a file mask to transfer multiple files with scp. 2.) You can specify multiple source files with scp, and do so in one command where sftp would require you to do one at a time if you didn't use a file mask. And, didn't we agree that the better strategy would be to tar and either bun or gun zip the archive first?
