Yeah, i know about rsync. It's really nice, for some things.
Sftp does much more than Rsync, though. You can't really use Rsync to
move/remove/rename/touch (etc) files at the other side directly, which
is done quite frequently.
Also, i don't work alone. I'm not at liberty to tell every single
admin in our, rather large, IT organisation that they have to start
using rsync instead of sftp for everything.
