SFTP is a secure file transfer protocol.

SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a network protocol that provides a secure way to transfer files between computers. It uses encryption to protect data in transit and requires authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the files. SFTP is commonly used by businesses and organizations to transfer sensitive data, such as financial information or personal data, securely over the internet. It is a reliable and efficient way to transfer files, and is supported by most modern operating systems and file transfer software.
