Comment on How do you manage your server files?
blotz@lemmy.world 8 months agoOkay this has made it so much worse. i figured that the s
in https
and ftps
stands for secure
like a reasonable person. of course it doesnt xD. you would think that this is at least consistent but alas. guess what s
in ssh
doesnt stand for :)

I don’t know if the
s
is actually “SSL” or “secure” but the point is that the are the same protocol, running over an encryption layer. So adding ans
suffix is running the same protocol over some encrypted transport. You see thiss
suffix for lots of things likeirc
/ircs
anddav
/davs
.This is different to
sftp
which isn’t related toftp
at all other than they are both protocols that transfer files.
