2014年8月12日 · They are two completely different protocols. FTPS is FTP with SSL for security. It uses a control channel and opens new connections for the data transfer. As it uses SSL, it requires a certificate.

2025年1月7日 · Secure shell file transfer protocol (SSH FTP or SFTP) and file transfer protocol secure (FTP over TLS/SSL or FTPS) enable secure file transfer using two distinct communication mechanisms. This article discusses the two concepts in detail and explains eight ways they differ from each other.

2021年9月17日 · While choosing between FTP, FTPS, and SFTP, weighing the pros and cons of each option will allow users to understand the available choices better. Here is a head-to-head FTP vs. FTPS vs. SFTP comparison that overviews the advantages and limitations of each transfer protocol.

2024年9月11日 · FTPS (formerly known as FTP over TLS/SSL) and SFTP (technically named the SSH2 File Transfer Protocol) are two common methods for securely transferring files over the internet. FTPS is actually an extension of the FTP, and it adds support for protecting information through SSL/TLS authentication.

2024年12月27日 · While SFTP is an improved version of SSH that provides simple file transfer features to the default secure SSH, FTPS was developed as an enhanced version of FTP to add a security framework. FTPS uses two channels, whereas SFTP only uses one to enable control communications and data transfer.

2024年3月6日 · What’s the difference between FTPS and SFTP? FTPS (formerly known as FTP over TLS/SSL) and SFTP (technically named the SSH2 File Transfer Protocol) are considered secure file transfer protocols. Despite their similar names, however, these protocols operate in very different ways, making each one better suited for different use cases and ...

2018年9月5日 · Difference between SFTP and FTPS. The key distinguishing feature of SFTP and FTPS protocols is the underlying transport mechanism. While FTPS affixes an additional layer to the legacy FTP protocol, SFTP essentially acts as an extension to the SSH protocol.

2023年12月16日 · At first glance, SFTP and FTPS may seem similar—both are extensions of the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) with added security features. However, fundamental differences between SFTP and FTPS impact their deployment, performance, and compatibility.

2023年8月28日 · FTP is foundational but unencrypted. FTPS adds SSL/TLS encryption to FTP. SFTP operates securely via SSH. SCP offers speed using SSH but has limited features. Modern policies like GDPR and HIPAA favor secure transfers, elevating SFTP as the top recommendation.

Key Differences Between SFTP vs. FTPS While SFTP and FTPS are both based on FTP, they differ in their encryption methods, port usage, firewall compatibility, authentication techniques, platform compatibility, performance, and speed.
