Learning SFTP
- [Instructor] There are many ways to transfer files between computers. And if we already have access to a remote system through SSH or Secure Shell, we can use SFTP to upload and download files easily. SFTP replaces the old and insecure FTP, and it's commonly used to manage files, especially on shared systems and web hosts. So if you manage a website or work with other remote systems, SFTP is a great tool to learn about. I'm Scott Simpson, and in this LinkedIn Learning course, I'll show you the basics of how SFTP works and I'll show you some common tools for using SFTP to work with files remotely. We'll take a few brief detours into system administration, but mostly we'll focus on the day to day usage of SFTP for users and administrators. Using SFTP to manage files can almost feel like cheating. It's a feature that's available even if we only have SSH access to a remote system. And that means we don't have to deal with setting up file sharing using some other technology. Let's go.
