Sftp: Alternative to FTP on UNIX

In general, FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one system to another in a network or on the internet.
FTP service is available by default on a Unix box but on some windows machines we have to enable it. To learn more on how to set up FTP server on windows click this.

In some rare cases, where FTP is disabled on a Unix box and only a secure shell is operational, sftp comes handy.
SFTP does the same work as FTP but works on a secure shell.

So, hereafter you can use SFTP if FTP is not available :)
