Sftp was not part of the original SSH program, IIRC.

I agree. I first started using SSH in 1996 or so, building it from source on a Linux Slackware system (which didn't even have ELF binaries!)

sftp didn't appear for a few years later.

I remember porting my system from a.out to elf binaries. Manually. Learned a lot though.
