what you mean is sftp.. for windows a great client is winscp. I used it for
years, along with putty, which you can find anywhere, just google putty.exe .
both programs use the secure port 22.
No... he means FTPS... like he said...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS
It is a perfectly valid way of securing FTP and given that chrooting
SFTP is not trivial for a lot of use-cases, whereas chrooting FTP is a
very well known operation, FTPS actually has some advantages over
SFTP.
