| The SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management functionalities over secure connection.((Technically %%SFTP%% can operate over any reliable data stream, not necessarily a secure one. Though in a significant majority of uses, it operated over a secure SSH protocol. WinSCP in particular does not allow any other use.)) It was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (%%SSH%%) version 2.0 to provide secure file transfer capability.((&wikipedia_ref(SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol|SSH File Transfer Protocol))) | The SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management functionalities over secure connection.((Technically %%SFTP%% can operate over any reliable data stream, not necessarily a secure one.
