Interesting article comparing SFTP and FTPS.

Dear WeatherCat technophiles,

There has been some confusion over the two distinct secure variants of the old FTP protocol.  WeatherCat supports FTPS but not SFTP.  Spiceworks has a nicely written article describing the differences between the two protocols:

So if you are curious, this article should satisfy your craving . . . . .

Thanks for posting. That was helpful to me, even though I learned more than I wanted to.

Dear Blick and WeatherCat victims of technology saturation,

Thanks for posting. That was helpful to me, even though I learned more than I wanted to. 

Definitely ditto!     It definitely saddens me that there is so much duplication on the Internet these days.  All we really needed was one secure file transfer protocol.  If I had to choose between SFTP and FTPS I wouldn't really know where to begin!
