The SSH File Transfer Protocol, also known as SFTP, is a unique protocol and not merely conducting FTP over SSH as many believe. Because of this common mistake, and the confusion between the SSH based SFTP and the Simple File Transfer Protocol, it is quite easy to believe that your data communications system is equipped to handle SFTP when it is not.
