Filezilla SFTP

We all know that a secure connection is safest; but many do not use secure connections when uploading and downloading files using FTP software clients.

TIP: Also, did you know that with a non-secure FTP connection, your FTP client will timeout at 2,000 files? This is critical if you’re moving/transferring a lot of files when moving sites, or just downloading content to your computer. This 2,000 file limit does not apply to secure FTP (SFTP) connections! Another reason to use SFTP when transferring files.
