What is diff between ftp and sftp? I wanna know what are the real difference between File Transfer Protocol and SSH file transfer protocol. Do you think these two keywords denotes different transferring technology? Or is FFP and SFTP same?

Only one difference

SFTP is (SSH) Secure File transfer Protocol, it creates an encryption when uploading files to the remote server when you are accessing the remote server via any untrusted networks like public wifi etc. That’s why it take much time compare to FTP while uploading.
