FTP/SFTP are two different protocols used to transfer data over the internet. FTP, in fact, stands for File Transfer Protocol, and companies all over the world use it to share files with internet users.

These files can be downloaded from an FTP server by people who connects to internet through and FTP client. SFTP - Secure File Transfer Protocol, ensures that the files and data are transferred through a safe stream.

Today, the FTP protocol is considered very unsafe and risky, because data like usernames and passwords are not encrypted during the transfer. However, File transfer protocol without encryption is still the most widely used on internet.
