SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a widely used protocol for secure file transfer, but there are newer and more advanced protocols available that offer improved security and functionality.  Some more secure and feature-heavy alternatives to SFTP include: • FTPS: FTPS is an extension of FTP that uses SSL or TLS encryption to secure file transfers. It provides the same functionality as FTP, but with the added security of encryption. • AS2: AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a protocol used for secure, reliable B2B file transfer. It provides encryption, digital signatures, and message integrity checks. • HTTPS: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a protocol that uses SSL or TLS encryption to secure web traffic, including file transfers. It provides the same functionality as HTTP, but with encryption. • WebDAV: WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a protocol that extends HTTP to support file management operations including file upload, download, and deletion, and it provides encryption and authentication mechanisms.
