[Question] FTP vs SFTP (SSH)? (lemmy.ml)

My use case is I’m transferring large already encrypted files between two servers connected via wireguard.

Is there any benefit to SFTP over FTP in this case?

Not really unless you want to hide the file names. Those are sniffable with FTP alone.

But SFTP is so good now I just use it for everything.
