FTP over SSL (FTPS)

FTP over SSL (FTPS) is a secure way to transfer files between computers over the internet. It adds a layer of encryption using SSL/TLS protocols to the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP), ensuring that data and login information are protected from eavesdropping or tampering. This security makes FTPS suitable for transmitting sensitive information, such as business documents or personal data. Essentially, FTPS functions like a secure, locked channel, allowing files to be shared safely between trusted parties without exposing them to potential cyber threats.
