SFTP

Short for Secure File Transfer Protocol, SFTP is a version of FTP that encrypts any commands and data transfers, helping keep your passwords secure and your session private. Because SFTP is a different protocol than FTP, in order for you to establish a SFTP connection, you must be connecting to a computer that supports it. Using SFTP to connect to a FTP server will not work.
  • WinSCP is a free and open source SFTP client for Windows users interested in connecting to another computer over SFTP.
