Secure FTP (SFTP): Secure File Transfer Protocol is a method for transferring files over a network with encryption, typically using SSH (Secure Shell). It ensures that data, as well as login credentials, are protected from interception during transfer.
The recommended SFTP clients are:
- FileZilla: FileZilla is a free, open-source FTP and SFTP client that provides an easy-to-use interface for uploading, downloading, and managing files on remote servers. It supports drag-and-drop transfers, bookmarking, and secure encrypted connections.
- WinSCP: WinSCP is a popular Windows-based SFTP, SCP, and FTP client. It emphasizes security with strong encryption, provides a dual-pane interface for easy file management, and supports scripting and automation for advanced users.
