A few words about what is FTP and what is SFTP :

FTP Basics
——————
FTP is a popular file transfer method that has been around longer than the world wide web – and it hasn’t changed much since its invention. When FTP was created, it wasn’t automatically assumed that internet activity could be malicious, so FTP wasn’t constructed to deal with the kind of cybersecurity threats we now face today.

FTP exchanges data using two separate channels known as the command channel and data channel. With FTP, both channels are unencrypted, leaving any data sent over these channels vulnerable to being intercepted and read.

SFTP Basics
———————
SFTP works over the Secure Shell (SSH) data stream to establish one secure connection and provide organizations with a higher level of file transfer protection. SFTP uses encryption algorithms to securely move data to your server and keep files unreadable during the process, while authentication prevents unauthorized file access during the operation.

While SFTP doesn’t require two-factor authentication, you do have the choice to require both a user ID and password, as well as SSH keys, for a more secure connection. Creating SSH keys helps prevent imposters from connecting to the server. SSH key pairs must be generated beforehand.

SFTP also gives you the option to perform a wide variety of tasks for sensitive files, from removing files to resuming dropped transfers.

Basically, SFTP is encrypted FTP. While it does provide an extra layer on security, this comes at a speed transfer cost, since it can be up to 3(!)times slower transfer speed than regular FTP. So keep that in mind when you make your selection 🙂
