Magento 2 AWS Speed and Security Optimization

SFTP allows the transfer of files over SFTP using SSH version 2. After authentication, a connection is established between your local system and remote server so you can transfer your data files & directories. It also enables you to resume file transfer if any interruption occurs.

• The SFTP protocol runs on a secure channel – no clear-text passwords or data files are transferred without encryption.
• It is therefore much more difficult for an outsider to observe and collect passwords from a system using SSH/SFTP sessions.
• The advantage of using the SFTP protocol is that your data remains secure during the entire process of transmission.
• SFTP solutions use high data encryption with public key advanced authentication for file access.
• The authentication involves computer-generated keys – both ‘private’ (known to you) and ‘public’ (accessed by anyone), which work alongside each other.
