Difference Between FTPS and SFTP

FTP is an unsecure protocol
*SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is completely different from FTP, as it was built from the ground up, to add FTP capabilities to SSH, while FTPS (FTP over SSL or FTP Secure) is an extension to FTP that uses the security mechanism of SSL
*FTPS was created as an extension of FTP to add security mechanisms, while SFTP is an extension of SSH that adds easy file transfer capabilities to the already secure SSH.
*FTPS uses two channels to facilitate communications and data transfer, while SFTP only uses one.
* FTPS sends and receives messages in a human readable format, while SFTP sends and receives messages in binary.
