Simple File Transfer Protocol

The Simple File Transfer Protocol (SFTP ) is a simpler version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It is designed in RFC 913 for simpler machines, but offers more options than the Trivial File Transfer Protocol. From the IETF, it is now classified as historically and today hardly in use.

The functionality of the SFTP includes access control, file transfer, list directory, change the current directory and renaming and deleting files and directories.

In contrast to the FTP SFTP uses only a single TCP connection that is established normally on port 115.

The Simple File Transfer Protocol is easy with the SSH File Transfer Protocol (also: Secure File Transfer Protocol ) confused, which is also abbreviated as " SFTP ".
