'''FTPS''' (FTP with security) adds SSL or TLS encryption to [[FTP]]. Many modern [[ftp]] clients and servers support this capability seamlessly, and its use is highly recommended for FTP wherever it's supported, as otherwise authentication and communications are handled in plain text. Also consider [[SFTP]], which is a protocol for transferring files securely that doesn't use FTP.
