That's true. Regular Windows ftp.exe can do the trick in a very simple implementation. It is cost effective and easily supported.
FTPs (also referred to as FTP-SSL) supports the exchange of data over TLS / SSL. sFTP (Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol) is FTP transfer over an SSH connection (or you could say within an SSH tunnel). Both of the above methods help secure the stream and maintain data integrity Obtaining software such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP has the advantage that it can handle these protocols in the same software.In addition, some software applications can handle HTTP/HTTPS file transfer, which makes for a good investment.
