Just to note for those who don't know, FTPS and SFTP are completely different protocols.

The similarity of the names often causes confusion, but SFTP has nothing to do with the venerable FTP.

SFTP stands for "SSH file transfer protocol" and it's a completely different beast. IMHO, a somewhat unfortunate naming choice, but that's water under the bridge.

(...while FTPS stands for "FTP over SSL", and that actually uses plain old FTP with an additional SSL/TLS layer...)
