→Secure File Transmission Control Protocol (sftp)
'''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 different operating systems).
The usage for the '''sftp''' command is displayed below:
'''<span style="font-family:courier">sftp user@hostname</span>'''
When you login via the sftp command, the '''sftp prompt''' appears. The ftp prompt is like a Bash shell prompt, but with a limited number of commands.
