===Simple File Transfer Protocol=== <!--Simple File Transfer Protocol redirects here--> Simple File Transfer Protocol (the first protocol abbreviated SFTP), as defined by {{IETF RFC|913}}, was proposed as an (unsecured) file transfer protocol with a level of complexity intermediate between TFTP and FTP. It was never widely accepted on the [[Internet]], and is now assigned Historic status by the [[Internet Engineering Task Force|IETF]]. It runs through port 115, and often receives the initialism of ''SFTP''. It has a command set of 11 commands and support three types of data transmission: [[ASCII]], [[Binary file|binary]] and continuous. For systems with a [[word size]] that is a multiple of 8 bits, the implementation of binary and continuous is the same. The protocol also supports login with user ID and password, hierarchical folders and file management (including ''rename'', ''delete'', ''upload'', ''download'', ''download with overwrite'', and ''download with append'').
