Agreed, but you will find many customers requiring an encrypted transfer method, especially for financial documents and I'm sure it's required for medical documents thought I've not had the pleasure of working with them yet. sftp is considered the better of the two from what I've found in my research and is easier to work with in my opinion. For instance with psftp you connect, accept the key and you are good to automate it from there. GIS/SI requires you to import a certificate since you have no way to interactively accept one.

If "FTPs" and "sFTP" mean " FTP supporting user id/passwords whtout any of the oddball things" ........ Microsoft ftp.exe is installed on all Windows systems. It's scriptable -tjhat is, can be set up to run unattended; has a command/interactive mode, too (UGLY WARNING HERE); nothing additional to purchase because it's already installed. . It's not terribly long on error reporting, logging or anything else, but it can get the job done. (I have never understood the obsession with "secure" FTP and/or "AS2" communications for day-to-day supply chain document exchange. If your competition does not know what you are selling to whom they are not much competition anyway!) Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
