What is SFTP?
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure file transfer protocol based on SSH. It encrypts both commands and data, making it the preferred choice for secure file transfers.
SFTP vs FTP
| Feature | FTP | SFTP |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | None | SSH encryption |
| Security | Unsecured | Secure by default |
| Use case | Legacy systems | Modern secure transfers |
SFTP vs FTPS
SFTP is based on SSH, while FTPS uses TLS encryption on top of FTP. SFTP is generally simpler to use and preferred in modern systems due to fewer configuration requirements.
Cloud SFTP without server management
Running your own SFTP server requires setup, key management and ongoing maintenance. With cloud SFTP, you get a secure endpoint without handling infrastructure.
Why SFTP is the default choice
SFTP is widely used for secure file transfer because it is simple, reliable and secure by design. It works well for integrations, automation and production environments.
