SFTP is regular FTP conducted over an ssh-encrypted connection.
It should be noted that SFTP (as in the sftp subsystem of ssh) has nothing to do with the regular FTP protocol. It's a completely new file transfer protocol. E.g., no separate control and data connections. IMO it's merely there to enable secure file transfers and browsing with GUI clients like WS_FTP. It also saves the overhead of multiple connection initializations, compared to scp.
