    For users and administrators alike, transferring files between computers is a fundamental task. Linux provides powerful tools for managing remote file transfers, notably through the use of protocols such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). In this guide, we will cover how to install and use ftp and sftp utilities on Linux systems, complete with instructions for different package managers including apt, dnf, and zypper.

SFTP: Part of the SSH protocol suite, which provides secure file transfers.
