SFTP EXPLAINED

FTP (File Transport Protocol) is a well known and widely used protocol for moving data over the internet. FTP however does not have any security. The packets of data are sent in clear text and hence can be “eaves dropped” by anyone “listening” to the connection. FTP caters only for password authentication which can be easily overcome.

Built into the SSH protocol suite is a companion protocol called Secure FTP (SFTP). The SFTP protocol works identically to FTP; however it also uses encryption (making the data impossible to read by a 3rd party) and authentication (ensuring the recipient/sender is who they claim to be).
