Summary
SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a secure and encrypted method for managing BisectHosting game servers with enhanced security. It provides a higher security level than traditional FTP, as it encrypts both the commands and data being transferred, preventing unauthorized access and eavesdropping. SFTP's solid security features and ease of use make it an essential tool for server administrators to ensure the safe and efficient transfer of files across networks and servers.
| Note | Depending on the operating system, the recommended FTP clients are: Windows - WinSCP | macOS - Cyberduck |
