| Being operated over SSH, it is secure protocol. In its basic functionally it is similar to old FTP, while having better designed advanced functionality. Unfortunately not all SFTP server implementations take advantage of the advanced features, yet. | Being operated over SSH, it is secure protocol.

| ^ File modification [[timestamp|time-stamp]] | Theoretically the problem does not occur, as the protocol requires timestamps to be in UTC. Practically some of the SFTP servers have problems with DST. | Supported | Some shell commands are influenced by daylight-saving time. For example, the ''ls'' command can return a different time than ''scp''. Thus, after transfer, the time-stamp of the file can be different. Also there can be an additional difference caused by the server timezone offset. This causes trouble when comparing directories and [[task_synchronize|synchronization]]. | | ^ File modification [[timestamp|time-stamp]] | Theoretically the problem does not occur, as the protocol requires timestamps to be in UTC.
