* [[Secure FTP]], the practice of running a normal FTP protocol session over SSH ([[FTP over SSH]])
The ambiguity comes from the acronym for the SSH-based [[SSH File Transfer Protocol]] having the same acronym as one of the terms referring to tunneling regular FTP connections over SSH: [[Secure FTP]].
The ambiguity comes from the acronym for the SSH-based [[SSH File Transfer Protocol]] having the same acronym as one of the terms referring to tunneling true FTP connections over SSH: Secure FTP. The real SFTP protocol does not use FTP, but it is implemented in a diverse array of clients such as [[FileZilla]], [[WinSCP]], and the command line program 'sftp' from the [[OpenSSH]] project included on most GNU/Linux and BSD distributions. Clients which implement tunneling raw FTP over SSH (so-called Secure FTP) are much more rare, but include version 3 of [[SSH Communications Security]]'s software suite, and the [[GPL]] licensed [http://fonc.sourceforge.net FONC].
