Guest | FTP - File Transmission Protocol
What is FTP?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) powers one of the most fundamental Internet functions: the transfer of files between computers. Web developers use FTP protocols to upload/update their web sites and download other information
FTPS
To upload your website to your Plesk Windows Hosting package or cPanel Linux Hosting, you need to use FTPS on Port 21.
FTPS (also known as FTP Secure or FTP-SSL) is an extension to the commonly used File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that adds support for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptographic protocols.
Some FTP clients support both FTPS modes: Explicit and Implicit. In such FTP clients, the Explicit (FTPES) mode needs to be selected.
SFTP
FTP, or secure FTP, is a program that uses SSH (Secure Shell) Protocol to transfer files. It is functionally similar to FTP. However, unlike standard FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over the network. SFTP works only on port 22 for any Web Circuit India Linux Web Hosting package.
