FTP vs FTPS vs SFTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) :
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the traditional way to transfer files from clients to servers. Invented in the 70s, FTP is a simple way to move files between computers via TCP/IP — the framework that connects network devices online. Here's how FTP usually works:
FTP handles three data representations (8-binary data, ASCII 7-Bit, and EBCDIC 8-Bit) and moves files via one of three transmission modes (block, stream, and compressed.)?

File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS) :
FTPS is known as FTP SSL which refers to File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) which is more secure from FTP. FTPS also called as File Transfer Protocol Secure. It refers to basic FTP with security which protects data from any attack by encrypting it so that no one can be able to make use of any information in between transmission at both the ends. It implements AES algorithm, Triple DES algorithm, and many other algorithms to encrypt data.

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) :
SFTP known is known as SSH FTP which refers to File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over Secure Shell (SSH) which encrypts both commands and data while in transmission. SFTP also called as Secure File Transfer Protocol. It works as an extension to SSH. It encrypts files and data then sends them over a secure shell data stream. This protocol allows to remotely connect to other systems and executing commands from the command line. Like FTPS it also implements AES algorithm, Triple DES algorithm, and many other algorithms to encrypt data.
