What is FTP vs SFTP?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server on a computer network. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), on the other hand, is a more secure method that transfers files over a secure SSH connection, encrypting both commands and data being transferred.
