How To make a secure connection
Protocol Summary
FTP | No secure connection. |
FTPS (Explicit) |
Explicit security requires that the FTP client issues a specific command to the FTP server after establishing a connection to establish the SSL link. The default FTP server port is used. This formal method is documented in RFC 2228. Wikipedia: FTPS |
FTPS (Implicit) |
Implicit security is a mechanism by which security is automatically turned on as soon as the FTP client makes a connection to an FTP server. In this case, the FTP server defines a specific port for the client (990) to be used for secure connections. |
SFTP over SSH |
Wikipedia: SSH file transfer protocol |
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol for transmitting data between a client and a server via the Internet that uses a cryptographic system designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery that might occur during a regular FTP transfer.
