scp is great for automation when you know where a file is. sftp is great when you want
to manually navigate the file system before transferring files. For most people starting
with the shell, sftp might be easier to use initially as it builds on commands they are familiar with. However, this is probably a separate change. Can make a further pull request to address this. Tools such as Globus may also be worth mentioning as scp/sftp are not great for large file transfers, though Globus is not available everywhere.
