SFTP stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol. Its main function is to make data transfer activities between clients and servers safer. In another sense, this method can prevent hacking or piracy by hackers. However, if you look at its abbreviation, is SFTP the same as FTP? Similar but not the same, maybe that is the most appropriate answer. There are quite significant differences between FTP and SFTP, especially in terms of security.
FTP is a network protocol used to exchange files over a TCP/IP network. Meanwhile, SFTP is a network protocol that allows file access, transfer, and management over data streams.
FTP does not provide any security channel for transferring files between hosts. However, the SFTP protocol does.
FTP can be accessed anonymously, and in most cases is not encrypted. In contrast, SFTP is a protocol that always encrypts data.
On the one hand, FTP establishes a connection using a control connection on TCP port 21. On the other hand, SFTP is a protocol that transfers files under a secure connection belonging to the SSH protocol between the client and the server.
