FTP v's SFTP
Hi,
I'm being told that I have to start using SFTP from my server (HPUX 11i), so heres a few questions;
What are the differences between FTP and SFTP? What differences in congiuration can I expect? Are there any changes in command usage? I did see an earlier thread with command issues. A few questions but google searches didn't bring anything of use.
Can you send data via SFTP and have recieved by a server only using FTP? maybe a dumb question...but I don't know?
Cheers and beers,

libssh2_sftp_init
libssh2_sftp_init(3) libssh2 manual libssh2_sftp_init(3)
NAME
libssh2_sftp_init - open SFTP channel for the given SSH session.
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h>
LIBSSH2_SFTP * libssh2_sftp_init(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session);
DESCRIPTION
session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
Open a channel and initialize the SFTP subsystem. Although the SFTP subsystem operates over the same type of channel as those exported by
the Channel API, the protocol itself implements its own unique binary packet protocol which must be managed with the libssh2_sftp_*() fam-
ily of functions. When an SFTP session is complete, it must be destroyed using the libssh2_sftp_shutdown(3) function.
RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the newly allocated SFTP instance or NULL on failure.
ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be
returned by the server.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN - Marked for non-blocking I/O but the call would block.
