What is SFTP and FTP?

FTP is an abreviation for “File Transfer Protocol” and SFPT means “Secure File Transfer Protocol”. Both are ways to exchange files over the internet. It’s in the words: SFPT is a more secure way of transferring as the data is encrypted which is not the case with FTP.

There are several programs to use for exchanging files with SFTP or FTP. Both parties, you and your partner, have access to a folder on a server where the one party places files via (S)FTP and the other party downloads the files via (S)FTP.

When you exchange documents to your partner the files are uploaded via FTP to a folder on the server where the partner downloads them via FTP. When the files are downloaded they are automaticly moved to another (historical) folder, so that only new files are downloaded next time your partner’s FTP looks into the folder. The other way round when you are the one to receive files from your partner.
