Transferring Files Securely Using SFTP

SFTP is a protocol for transferring files using SSH to secure the commands and data that are being transferred between the client and the server. When using FTP, the data that is being transferred is not encrypted, exposing this data to eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. With SFTP, the data that is transferred between the client and the server is encrypted, preventing unauthorized users from accessing your data.
