SFTP is helpful because it allows users to encrypt their login credentials and all subsequent data transfers. SFTP is used by many organizations to securely move information such as billing data, cash, and data recovery files. SFTP is usually preferred for anonymous logins, where the user only has to send a username and password. SFTP only requires a single port number (port 22) to establish a server connection as opposed to FTP, which uses SSL/TLS (FTPS). SFTP servers also enable users to perform a wide range of tasks with sensitive files, from erasing items to restarting stopped transfers. SFTP is more secure than FTP for file transfers between trading partners and corporate servers. Most SFTP servers allow users to connect remotely to servers and transfer files, as one would with a regular FTP program such as FileZilla.
A secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) is a more secure version of the original file transfer protocol (FTP).
