How can you configure FTP to use SFTP?

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a separate protocol from FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and requires a different configuration than FTP. To configure FTP to use SFTP, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install an SFTP server on the host machine where the files are stored. OpenSSH is a commonly used SFTP server.

1. Enable SFTP on the host machine by modifying the SSH configuration file (/etc/ssh/sshd\_config) and adding the following line:

Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

1. Save the SSH configuration file and restart the SSH service to enable the changes.

1. Configure the FTP client software to use SFTP for file transfer. This can be done by changing the protocol from FTP to SFTP in your FTP client settings.

1. Test the SFTP connection by connecting to the SFTP server using an SFTP client such as FileZilla or WinSCP.

1. Once the connection is established, you should be able to transfer files securely over the SFTP connection.
