→Secure File Transmission Control Protocol (sftp)
Reference: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/sftp.1.html
'''FTP''' is an acronym for '''File Transfer Protocol''' which provides a framework set of '''rules ''' on how to convert data that is transferred between computer servers (both identical and different).
When you login via the sftp command, you are in the '''sftp prompt''' (like a Bash shell prompt, but with a <br>limited number of commands).
When issuing sftp commands it is important to understand that the local server relates to the server where you first issues the sftp command.
