What is SFTP server and how it works?
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) works over the Secure Shell (SSH) data stream to establish a secure connection and provide organizations with a higher level of file transfer protection. Unlike FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS), SFTP only needs a single port number (port 22) to establish a server connection.
How do I test my SFTP server?
You use a test file to test the SFTP connection and the web server. Use a command line SFTP tool available from a third-party source. For example, PuTTY SFTP client (PSFTP) works well for this test. Note: There are several PuTTY applications for download, but only PSFTP works for this test.
