- chasil 4y agoThe REGET and REPUT commands are implemented by both, which is distinctive. The SITE command is thankfully not implemented in sftp, and the commands that traverse the wire are not ASCII, so they are indeed very different. Sftp also left behind the ASCII/binary mangling of line endings. I think the "ftp must die" paper reveals many of the foibles of ftp. https://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie https://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
