Secure File
Transfer Protocol
Introduction
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is
a secure way to transfer files over the
internet. With the increasing threat of
data breaches, ensuring data security
has become a top priority for
organizations. This presentation
provides an overview of SFTP and its
importance in data security.
What is SFTP?
SFTP is a protocol that uses SSH to
transfer files securely. It provides
authentication and encryption, ensuring
that data is protected during transit.
SFTP is widely used by organizations to
transfer sensitive data such as financial
information, personal data, and medical
records.
How does SFTP work?
SFTP uses a client-server model. The
client connects to the SFTP server using
SSH and authenticates itself. Once
authenticated, the client can transfer
files securely using encryption. SFTP
supports a wide range of file operations,
including file uploads, downloads, and
deletions.
 Benefits of SFTP

SFTP provides several benefits, including data

security, data integrity, and reliability. SFTP also
supports resume transfer, ensuring that file
transfers can be resumed if interrupted. In addition,
SFTP is platform-independent, meaning it can be
used on any operating system.
 Implementing SFTP

Implementing SFTP requires setting up an SFTP

server and configuring client applications to use
SFTP. There are several SFTP server solutions
available, including SAP CPI, FileZilla Server, and
Cerberus FTP Server. SFTP can be used with a
wide range of client applications, including FileZilla,
WinSCP, and Cyberduck.
 Conclusion
In today's world, ensuring data security is crucial for
organizations. SFTP provides a secure way to transfer files over
the internet, protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access.
By implementing SFTP, organizations can ensure that their data
is protected during transit, reducing the risk of data breaches.
