How to Install SFTP Server

1. Definition

What is SFTP Server?

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)  is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management functionalities over any reliable data stream. It was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0 to provide secure file transfer capability, but is also intended to be usable with other protocols.

Personally my favourite FTP/SFTP client is the multi-platform, open sourced FileZilla but there are many others such as SmartFTP, WinSCP or FireFTP (for Firefox).
