FTP
Overview
FTP (SFTP) - a way to connect to a remote Server or device to upload and download files. Common with website design so that creators can upload media files that the site uses. SFTP is the secure way. We must use extreme caution when allowing this type of connection over the Internet. A related service exists named SCP (or WinSCP) that is a bit safer due to its encryption mechanisms, but is not "built-in" to as many servers as FTP/SFTP.
