    *SFTP (Secure File transmission Protocol)* encrypts both commands and data during the transmission, while *FTP (File Transfer Protocol)* is an unsecure protocol that sends data in plaintext. Because it offers encryption and defense against attacks like man-in-the-middle (MITM) and eavesdropping, SFTP is recommended for security reasons.
