Re: What is the difference between ftp encryption types SSL, TLS, SFTP and SSH ?



you could classified 4 types of your list into 2 main groups:

1.TLS,SSL - they're very similar in practice.

2.SSH,SFTP - SSH uses SFTP while transfering data,so you might think
they're same.

compare between TLS and SSH
I think SSH is more popular than TLS.You config the server as ftp
server,so you could probably select SFTP.

I have seen a couple of different encryption types for ftp connections:

TLS
SSL
SFTP
SSH

Ok, provided an ftp server offers all these types: which type should I choose
to setup the ftp server or to select from the ftp clients view ?

Is the security for all these types similar and the difference refers only different protocols?

What are the pros and cons ?
