correct, SFTP uses FTP over SSH
- tialaramex 5y agoNo. This is completely wrong in two different ways First: The parent was talking about FTPS, which is the FTP protocol spoken over TLS, similar to how HTTPS can be HTTP/1.1 spoken over TLS Second: SFTP is not FTPS, and it also isn't FTP spoken over SSH. Instead. SFTP is a protocol specifically for SSH which, like FTP, is concerned with file transfers, but matches what its authors actually wanted from file transfers in the modern era, rather the concerns FTP had decades ago.
- 123pie123 5y agonot sure I fully understand your comment, I said correct as my first statement agreeing with the parent and thus your explaination (ie FTPS is FTP over TLS) at what point did I mention that FTPS is SFTP?? my comment regarding SFTP was in reference to the parents comment >but I left FTP for ssh long ago and never looked back. but you're correct that >SFTP is a protocol specifically for SSH
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoSFTP does not use FTP. It is an independent design.
- mpyne 5y ago> at what point did I mention that FTPS is SFTP?? I had also understood your comment to mean that SFTP is "just FTP tunneled through SSH" (i.e. FTPS) rather than a redesigned protocol.
- 123pie123 5y agobad habit of mine to explain SFTP to non technical people. at a million mile high level
