Ftps

Three protocols, one job, very different guts # FTP, FTPS, and SFTP all claim to do the same thing — move a file from one place to another — and partners use the names almost interchangeably, which is exactly the problem. They are three genuinely different protocols with different port models, different security properties, and different failure modes, and the SFTP Server Adapter and SFTP Client Adapter you configure in Sterling only make sense once you know which one you’re actually running. This post goes through each one on its own terms, then spends the back half on SFTP specifically, since that’s what carries the overwhelming majority of partner traffic in B2Bi.
