Differences between SFTP and “FTP over SSH” – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/10/13
As I will likely have to secure some external FTP sessions soon and the endpoints the current FTP connects to are vague in what they support:
Here is the difference:
- SFTP (SSH file transfer protocol) is a protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation capabilities. It can work over any reliable data stream, but is typically used with SSH
- “FTP over SSH” uses the regular old FTP protocol, but an SSH tunnel is placed between client and server.
…
- FTP over SSL (FTPS), which is supported by .NET. (See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.ftpwebrequest.enablessl.aspx.)
