'''FTP''' is an acronym for '''File Transfer Protocol''' which provides a set of '''rules''' on how to convert data that is transferred between computer servers (both identical and differentoperating systems).
When you login via the sftp command, you are in the '''sftp prompt''' (appears. The ftp prompt is 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 issued the sftp command.
