Why is SFTP called a secure protocol ?
SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is called a secure protocol for file transfer as it takes the following measures to ensure data safety :
- SFTP requires that the client user must be authenticated by the server and the data transfer must take place over a secure channel (SSH).
- All data is encrypted before being sent across the network.
- SFTP encrypts both commands and data providing effective protection against common network security risks.
