SFTP

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or SSH File Transfer Protocol facilitates data access and data transfer over a Secure Shell (SSH) data stream. The functionality of SFTP is like that of FTP. SFTP is an extended version of SSH 2.0. It is used with VPN applications and Transport Layer Security (TLS). In order to prevent passwords and other sensitive information from being transferred over the network, both the data and commands are encrypted in SFTP.

In the context of live streaming services, SFTP plays a crucial role in ensuring the secure transfer of large video files and related assets. Content creators and streaming platforms often rely on SFTP to upload and manage their media files efficiently. This secure protocol helps maintain the integrity of the data while allowing for seamless access and transfer, ultimately enhancing the quality and reliability of live streaming services. With SFTP, users can confidently share sensitive content without the fear of unauthorized access or data breaches, making it an essential component for any provider looking to optimize their live video streaming.
