Mar 05, 2017 · SFTP or SSH File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol that provides file transfer functionality over a secure and reliable data stream. This protocol was designed by Internet Engineering Task Force or IETF and it can be used with SSH version 2.0. Sep 24, 2013 · FTP (File Transfer Protocol) with VPN (Virtual Private Network) – FTP was the first robust, reliable file transfer protocol developed and is still used today by many businesses, particularly for file exchange within a company. However, FTP by itself does not provide the security needed for document exchange with other companies over the Internet. Dec 10, 2016 · Even though a VPN (Virtual Private Network), a VPS (Virtual Private Server), and VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) may sound similar, they are in fact quite different. The three are often confused because they share some key characteristics and can even be used together. A VPN can be hosted on a VPS or VPC, for example. FTPS vs SFTP – Which should I use? In this article we outline the FTP/FTPS and SFTP protocols as well as comparing FTPS vs SFTP. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has been used widely around the world for transferring files across networks, especially the Internet. SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), also known as Secure File Transfer Protocol is a file transfer protocol that uses Secure Shell 2 (SSH2), a secure tunneling protocol, to emulate an FTP connection and provides a firewall-friendly and encrypted channel for file transfers using the well-known TCP port 22. First, try setting your FTP client to active mode, and disable passive mode. If this does not work, set the client back to passive, and connect to one of the following servers with your VPN client:

Mar 21, 2008 · --SFTP: “SSH File Transfer Protocol” (SSH2)--FTPS: FTP using SSL/TLS protocol for channel encryption--VPN: There are a multitude of VPN methods, but one thing is certain - if your VPN password/encryption is weak it can and will eventually be cracked.

Mar 15, 2016 · The advantage of using a VPN over SSL is that you can disguise VPN traffic as regular https traffic (using TCP port 443) which makes SSTP very useful for getting through firewalls that block other VPN protocols. Mar 19, 2013 · “Windows Server and that the purpose is ONLY to transfer files, is an SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) server software a sufficient secure transfer channel to transfer files or it is better to tunnel SFTP traffic over a VPN ?” - it depends on your company requirement.

But I am concerned about comprimising the firewall in order to do this. Does it make more sense to use a VPN router and allow users to log on to the network ? Both concepts seem similar. Is the VPN router a more secure way of letting people access files on my network? SCP and SFTP achieve similar functions using an SSH server and can also be encrypted. VPN is a virtual private network. VPNs can be encrypted, most are. A VPN creates a virtual network overtop of an existing network connection, providing privacy and security, though often at a cost of speed and latency. VPN uses encryption to secure its "tunnel" over the internet from one network segment to another. FTP, File Transfer Protocol, is a protocol that has been around much longer and simply provides a means for one computer to transfer data to another. There are ways of encrypting this data but generally speaking it's not all that secure at all.
