Prior to the IETF's involvement, SFTP was a proprietary protocol of SSH Communications Security, designed by Tatu Ylönen with assistance from Sami Lehtinen in 1997. [8] Differences between versions 0–2 and version 3 are enumerated upon in section 10 of draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-02.
An SSH server is a software program which uses the Secure Shell protocol to accept connections from remote computers. SFTP / SCP file transfers and remote terminal connections are popular use cases for an SSH server.
A packet-switched network transmits data that is divided into units called packets.A packet comprises a header (which describes the packet) and a payload (the data). The Internet is a packet-switched network, and most of the protocols in this list are designed for its protocol stack, the IP protocol suite.
SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), a secure alternative to FTP (not to be confused with FTP over SSH or FTPS) Files transferred over shell protocol (FISH), released in 1998, which evolved from Unix shell commands over SSH
sftp, a replacement for ftp to copy files between computers. ssh , a replacement for rlogin , rsh and telnet to allow shell access to a remote machine. ssh-add and ssh-agent , utilities to ease authentication by holding keys ready and avoid the need to enter passphrases every time they are used.
The SCP is a network protocol, based on the BSD RCP protocol, [5] which supports file transfers between hosts on a network. SCP uses Secure Shell (SSH) for data transfer and uses the same mechanisms for authentication, thereby ensuring the authenticity and confidentiality of the data in transit. A client can send (upload) files to a server ...
SFTP provides secure file transfer from a remote file system. While SFTP clients can transfer files and directories, they cannot mount the server's file system into the local directory tree. Using SSHFS, a remote file system may be treated in the same way as other volumes (such as hard drives or removable media). [6]
The SSH file transfer protocol (chronologically the second of the two protocols abbreviated SFTP) transfers files and has a similar command set for users, but uses the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) to transfer files. Unlike FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted openly over ...
