sftp2
sftp2.exe
is a Windows port of the Unix sftp2
tool.
sftp2
(Secure File Transfer Protocol 2) is an FTP-like client
that can be used for file transfer over the network.
sftp2
uses Secure Shell version 2 protocol in data connections,
so the file transport is secure.
However, it should be noted that sftp2
is not designed to be a drop-in
replacement for an FTP client. It is an application that implements secure file
transfer functionality and has most features that common FTP applications have.
In order to connect using sftp2
, you need to make sure that
sshd2
is running on the remote host computer you are connecting
to.
sftp2.exe
launches ssh2.exe
as a transport. Therefore
the configuration and authentication features of ssh2.exe
can
be used in sftp2.exe
as well.
