SSH File Transfer Protocol
<networking> (SFTP) A version of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) using an
encrypted network connection provided by Secure Shell (SSH), usually SSH 2.
The SFTP protocol allows for a range of operations on remote files, making it
more like a remote file system protocol. SFTP clients can resume interrupted
transfers, get directory listings and remove remote files. SFTP has largely
replaced Secure Copy (SCP).
