SSH
(Secure Shell) is a protocol for encrypting and securing various kinds of data
transfers over a network or the Internet. SSH works by opening a secure channel
between the File Watchdogs SSH server and an authenticated user's computer.
Many kinds of data may be sent or retrieved through this channel.
SSH
can be understood as a large pipe: its purpose is to carry whatever is passed
through it from one place to another without letting anything leak in or out.
File
Watchdogs FTP Server with SSH uses SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) over
SSH2 to transfer files.
SFTP
operates nearly identically to FTP, but all transmissions are secured under the
SSH protocol.
