[C · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful study guide for CompTIA Network+, but not as good as Mike Meyers' CompTIA Network+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting Networks.

Notes
SFTP: Client and server establish SSH connection, then encapsulate FTP packets within SSH tunnel.

FTPS: Client encrypts each individual FTPS packet using TLS before putting it on network. There's no secure tunnel, unlike SFTP.
