What is SFTP?

• SFTP in computing terms refers to the SSH File Transfer Protocol, otherwise known as the Secure File Transfer Protocol, which is a network protocol designed to offer file management, file transfer, and file access functionality over any dependable data streams or channels. It's also a vast improvement from its predecessor, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), which used to be the standard in file transference between two computers during the dialup era and before the broadband era.
