They are different protocols, and you are right he should be using sftp://:
SFTP = SSH File Transfer Protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol

From the artical:
"A common misconception is that SFTP is simply FTP run over SSH; in fact it is 
a new protocol designed from the ground up by the IETF SECSH working group."

FISH = Files transfered over Shell protocol: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files_transferrer_over_shell_protocol

It is interesting that they are different, however many servers support both - 
so one or the other, or both may work...
