This is no "flaming war". It's just nonsense to say "everything I can 
do with foo I can do with bar, too". Of course you can do everything 
you can do with mutt also with telnet to port 110. It's not /what/ you 
can do but /how/.

Jason R. DePriest described the difference between a simple command 
you run and a SFTP/SCP client quite well in [1].

If you still don't know what he's talking about, I refer you to the 
man page of yafc[2] or lftp[3] for example.

GUI? What are you talking about?
