sftp - "secure" ftp (i.e., implementation of FTP-like protocol, that is not actually FTP, over SSH transport) ftp - "traditional" file transfer protocol ftps - FTP with SSL (very rarely used) If the server in question is running vsftpd, then you want to use a client like lftp or inetutils-ftp or similar.
