SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure method for transferring files between computers over a network. It operates within the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol, which encrypts the data to protect it from eavesdropping or tampering. Unlike traditional FTP, which isn't secure, SFTP ensures that both the files and the login details are encrypted during transfer. It is commonly used by organizations and individuals to safely upload, download, and manage files remotely, providing a reliable and secure way to handle data exchanges over the internet.
