You know the difference between FTP and SFTP? The FTP is usually provided as part of any operating systems, as for SFTP, which is a more secured method of data transfer via un-secured network or channel, you have to pay for it to install in your systems. The good news is, you may also get it for free from Open source, but, the trouble with getting it from Open source is that you have to compile the source code on your own to suit your usage. I learnt the hard way, tried to compile it, but didn't work out, in the end, I downloaded the compiled version from another source.
Be aware, however, getting it from Open source means you don't get full technical support, and it might be buggy. Nevermind, if it works fine, why not?
I have got one of our Unix administrators to test and set in up on all the Unix servers.
