SFTP and FTPS are two mutually independent protocols which basically do the same thing: both use encryption in order to transfer your Web Hosting files securely. FTPS is a further development of FTP including an additional SSL/TLS-encryption. SFTP, on the other hand, is an alternative to FTP based on Secure Shell (SSH).
In order to enable secure file transfer for both Windows Hosting and Linux Hosting, we support both protocols.

All of the high-quality server solutions offered by IONOS support Secure FTP hosting with both Windows and Linux based servers, providing suitable platforms for use with the SFTP or FTPS protocol. Your decision should be based upon the type of server most suited to the amount of data you wish to store, and the performance levels you require to run your project optimally.
Cloud Servers are perfect for smaller projects and offer great value for money with their versatile nature. Virtual servers work in a similar way and offer you a shared space on a physical server.
With a virtual server, however, you have a choice of packages depending upon your specific requirements. Finally, IONOS's range of dedicated servers offer you ultimate power and performance with an expansive range of storage solutions.
A Secure FTP server functions as an intermediary between multiple computers in different locations and facilitates the transfer of all file types. These servers offer a number of advantages in terms of security and speed that make transferring and sharing data easy - ideal if you are a website owner. This means the content saved on the server can be easily transferred across the web. All you have to do is enter your details and then download some FTP server software to access your Secure FTP server.
This is worthwhile if you need to access data quickly, save data securely, share it with other users, or simply store data on the server yourself. If you want to build an extensive website, such as a professional online store, you benefit from clearly structured, secure data management and – just like your customers – fast access time, even with high traffic.

Secure FTP access is included in all IONOS hosting packages free of charge. There are two ways to access the server. One is with the help of a beginner-friendly software that guides you through the configuration and data transmission – the so-called FTP client – which is available to download. With the help of the client software, you can configure your server quickly and comfortably, and control the data transmission between PC and server. The management, transfer, updating, and securing of your data will all be made easier with the wide selection of features on offer. The data transmission is done via SFTP/FTPS protocol and is therefore easy, fast, and secure.
The Secure FTP protocol can also be controlled directly via the console, which can be accessed via the IONOS Control Panel. This direct access method on the server does not require a separate client program and is aimed at advanced users.
