Subject: Help for Net::FTP users
Most people are ditching(/have ditched) ftp instead of sftp. The logical choice for the user of Net::FTP in their Perl script is to look at Net::SFTP. Net::SFTP provides different methods to Net::FTP, e.g. lcd, cd, mget are not supported. It would be nice if either 1. All of Net::FTPs methods were available 2. A pointer in the Net::SFTP perldoc to Net::SCP (which provides a Net::FTP style interface) was provided.

should be "Most people are ditching(/have ditched) ftp in _favour_ of sftp."

A wrapper that matches the Net::FTP interface might be nice, but it's beyond the scope of this project. Net::SCP uses the command-line ssh utilities, so I'd rather not point people to it - sorry.
