Does pure-FTPd support SFTP?

To add users to the PureDB we need to create a /etc/passwd -like file which is then used to create the PureDB. To create, view, or modify the /etc/pureftpd. passwd file, we use the pure-pw command. This creates the user someuser which runs as the FTP system user.
Does pure FTPd support SFTP?
Which is faster SFTP or FTPS?
SFTP will almost always be significantly slower than FTP or FTPS (usually by several orders of magnitude). The reason for the difference is that there is a lot of additional packet, encryption and handshaking overhead inherent in the SSH2 protocol that FTP doesn’t have to worry about.
What ports does FTPS use?
The FTP protocol typically uses port 21 as its main means of communication. An FTP server will listen for client connections on port 21. FTP clients will then connect to the FTP server on port 21 and initiate a conversation. This main connection is called the Control Connection or Command Connection.
How does FTPS work step by step?
In FTPS, FTP data travels through the network using either Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Just like FTP, FTPS works in a client-server model, utilizing a control channel and a data channel for exchanging FTP commands and data during an FTPS client session.
Does FTPS use TLS or SSL?
FTPS uses TLS (and SSL, though SSL is now considered insecure by PCI DSS and most industry standards) to encrypt FTPS server connections. X. 509 certificates are used to authenticate these connections.
