Confusing as it sounds, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is FTPS, while Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a different file transfer protocol that uses Secure Shell (ssh) as the encryption mechanism. FTPS is NOT == SFTP.
That is about as bad as source-target or target-source parameter orderings.
And if someone decides to write a secure FTP program, it will probably be called SFTP regardless of its implementation. I was required to implement such a program in my of the courses on my degree, and that is what it was called.
