SFTP – OpenSSH FTP Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

SFTP – OpenSSH FTP Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is the best solution to transfer files and data securely over encrypted network layers (using SSH2 protocol).

Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that enables a high level of encryption even in insecure networks. Unlike FTP, only one connection is used and the user authentication, commands, output as well as data files get encrypted and kept safe when they encounter various attacks while being transferred.

SSH FTP has pretty much-replaced legacy FTP as a file transfer protocol and is quickly replacing FTP/S. It provides all the functionality offered by these protocols, but more securely and more reliably, with easier configuration. There is basically no reason to use the legacy protocols any more.

SFTP also protects against password sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks. It protects the integrity of the data using encryption and cryptographic hash functions, and authenticates both the server and the user.

In almost all cases, SFTP will be preferred over FTP thanks to its security features and SSH connectivity. FTP is an insecure protocol that should be used in limited cases or on trusted networks.
