What is SFTP?

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure method for transferring files over a network. Unlike traditional FTP (File Transfer Protocol), which lacks encryption, SFTP ensures secure file sharing by encrypting both the data being transferred and the commands exchanged between the client and the server. SFTP is commonly used by businesses and individuals to safely transfer sensitive information, such as financial records, confidential documents, and large datasets, over the internet or internal networks. In this article, we'll explore how SFTP works, its key benefits, and why it's preferred for secure data transmission.
