Title: SSH File Transfer Protocol Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:ssh-file-transfer-protocol URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT In computing, the SSH File Transfer Protocol, also known as Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream. It was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0 to provide secure file transfer capabilities, and is seen as a replacement of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) due to superior security. The IETF Internet Draft states that, even though this protocol is described in the context of the SSH-2 protocol, it could be used in a number of different applications, such as secure file transfer over Transport Layer Security (TLS) and transfer of management information in VPN applications.
