Summary of Linux sftp command usage

sftp is the abbreviation of Secure File Transfer Protocol, a secure file transfer protocol. It can provide a secure network encryption method for transferring files. sftp has almost the same syntax and functionality as ftp. SFTP is a part of SSH and is a secure way to transfer files to your Blogger server. In fact, the SSH software package already includes a secure file information transfer subsystem called SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). SFTP itself does not have a separate daemon process. It must use the sshd daemon process (the default port number is 22) to complete the corresponding connection and reply operations. So in a sense, SFTP is not like a server program, but more like a client program. SFTP also uses encryption to transmit authentication information and transmitted data, so using SFTP is very safe. However, since this transmission method uses encryption/decryption technology, the transmission efficiency is much lower than that of ordinary FTP. If you have higher requirements for network security, you can use SFTP instead of FTP.
