No, "sildur" was correct that the "sftp" protocol is not better than the "scp" protocol.
Another poster described in detail the problems with the "scp" and "sftp" protocols. They have different advantages and disadvantages and neither of them can be considered a good file copy protocol.
>It has proven very difficult to add "security" to the scp model.
>>Compared to the SCP protocol, which only allows file transfers, the SFTP protocol allows for a range of operations on remote files which make it more like a remote file system protocol.
