SFTP and resume

sftp and resume? -- 68.103.147.152 07:21, 2005 Jun 16

I've now mentioned this capability in the article. JTN 13:50, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)

I don't understand...

What does SSH stand for exactly? Is it a protocol or a program? Is "SSH File Transfer Protocol" the same as SSH? or SFTP? SFTP is introduced into the article without any explanation.

So an SCP program uses the SCP protocol right? And SFTP uses SSH?

I'm confused! :(

SSH stands for "Secure shell". It is both protocol and program. SCP programs use SCP protocol (but some can use also SFTP protocol). SFTP programs use SFTP procol only. Both use SSH.

new RFC

I incremented the RFC filename from 09 to 12. From my limited RFC knowledge it appears the protocol version has not been incremented but that this new RFC delinates "New data types defined" only. The section that would explain the differences seems to be incomplete. Kubatonmax, a Protest Warrior 11:45, 2006 Jan 29 (PST)

Combine, Combine, Combine

This topic should be combined with FTP. FTPS article should also be combined with FTP article.12.110.196.19 18:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree with (at least) the first. SFTP a different protocol to FTP. — Matt Crypto 18:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. FTP and SFTP are completely different beasts. Do not combine them into one article. -- Ernstdehaan 08:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SCP not deprecated

This article says SCP is deprecated. However, as far as I can see, SCP is not deprecated, just (intentionally) limited compared to SFTP. -- Ernstdehaan 09:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
