SFTP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SFTP may refer to:

Relating to file transfer:

• SSH file transfer protocol, a network protocol designed by the IETF to provide secure file transfer and manipulation facilities over the secure shell (SSH) protocol. This is typically meant in context of file transfer.
• FTP over SSH, the practice of running an FTP session over SSH, sometimes called Secure FTP. Rarely used, because FTP's normal 2-channel nature makes such tunneling hard.
• Simple File Transfer Protocol, an unsecured and rarely-used file transfer protocol from the early days of the Internet.
• Serial File Transfer Protocol, a protocol used to transfer files between a PC and an embedded device using RS-232 or similar serial protocols.

SFTP may also refer to:

• Screened fully-shielded twisted pair, a kind of network cable, in contrast to FTP and STP
• Science for the People, a U.S. left-wing organization and magazine
• Six Flags Theme Parks, chain of amusement parks and theme parks.
