Free SFTP hosting lets you transfer files securely using the SFTP protocol without managing your own server. All data is encrypted during transfer, making it a safer alternative to traditional FTP.
Unlike FTP, SFTP encrypts both commands and data. This prevents interception of sensitive information such as credentials and file contents. For any modern system, SFTP is the recommended standard.
