SFTP File Provider vs FTP Client

Use SFTP to access files and folders in the cloud or on the home network, served by the SSH/Secure File Transfer Protocol. SFTP provides the connection, making the remote files available for the rest of the phone: for all apps that are using the standard iOS file selector, including the Files app itself. After installing SFTP, open the app, and add your remote servers. Then, from the Files app, go to Browse/Locations and enable the new location provider called "SFTP". Power users can add unlimited number of servers with the in-app purchase "SFTP Pro". This is a one-time purchase unlocking all premium features in the app.

FTP Files puts your server content in the Files app & Finder with minimum setup or hassle. Open and edit with any app at your convenience. The app supports FTP, SFTP and FTPS with implicit or explicit TLS encryption and your server configurations are synced between iPhone, iPad and Mac if you have iCloud Keychain enabled. Uploading files from the Mac services menu and share sheet is supported and very fast as target directories are remembered for different file types. The app is free to use with a single server. A Pro Unlock is required for multiple servers, available as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, with access shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A one-week free trial allows users to evaluate Pro features before purchase. Powerful automation is included, allowing you to work with the Shortcuts app for listing, downloading, and uploading files. It's designed to automate your routine tasks, increasing your productivity.
