Question

what are the advantages of SFTP over ftp??​

Answer 1

• SFTP provides two methods for authenticating connections. Like FTP, with SFTP you can simply use a user ID and password. However, unlike in FTP these credentials are encrypted, giving SFTP a major security advantage. The other authentication method you can use with SFTP is SSH keys.

Answer 2

Answer:

SFTP Provides the Highest Level of Protection

Some earlier attempts to provide security for data in transit using FTP relied on port forwarding (data tunneling) to create a secure (encrypted) connection between client and server over which usernames and passwords could be sent.
