SFTP

SFTP may refer to:

Relating to file transfer:
* SSH file transfer protocol, a network protocol designed to provide secure file transfer and manipulation facilities over the secure shell (SSH) protocol. This is typically meant in context of file transfer. This is not an IETF standard, but a draft.
* FTP over SSH, the practice of running an FTP session over SSH, sometimes called "Secure FTP". Rarely used, because FTP's normal 2-channel nature makes such tunneling hard.
* Simple File Transfer Protocol, an unsecured and rarely-used file transfer protocol from the early days of the Internet.
* Serial File Transfer Protocol, a protocol used to transfer files between a PC and an embedded device using RS-232 or similar serial protocols.

SFTP may also refer to:
* Screened fully-shielded twisted pair, a kind of network cable, in contrast to FTP and STP
* Science for the People, a U.S. left-wing organization and magazine
* Six Flags Theme Parks, chain of amusement parks and theme parks.

* FTPS, or "FTP over SSL", another name used to encompass a number of ways in which FTP software can perform secure file transfers
