Secure File Transfer Protocol
or SFTP
Secure File Transfer Protocol or SFTP for those who prefer their acronyms, is no ordinary digital handshake.
Picture this: a secret passageway between a client and a server, where files glide gracefully through a labyrinth of encryption. It’s the sophisticated middle brother of the older sibling File Transfer Protocol (FTP), donning a cloak of Secure Shell (SSH) to ward off prying eyes. In this realm, every byte is cloaked in secrecy, every transfer a clandestine rendezvous, ensuring your data moves not just swiftly, but safely through the ether.
I.E. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network protocol that facilitates secure and encrypted file transfers between a client and a server. Developed as a secure alternative to the traditional File Transfer Protocol (FTP), SFTP incorporates Secure Shell (SSH) for authentication and data encryption, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of data during transfer.
