Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

SFTP = SSH + FTP. Or in other words: SFTP adds File Transfer capabilities to something that is already Secure.

One advantage of SFTP is that it only needs one port to enable file transfer (while FTPS requires two), which makes it easier to implement through Firewalls.
