[mdlug] Opinions on AS2, sftp and oftp

[Michael]

sftp is by far the simplest and should be as secure as ssh, and you won't
need to set up any extra services on a box that you ssh into normally. Also
most ftp clients nowadays support sftp protocol (filezilla, fetch,
cyberduck, etc.) and the CLI is almost the exact same as regular ftp. Of
course, for me, a big problem with sftp is the lack of python support, but
it isn't really better for the other methods anyway.
