Yes. All the features you specified can be done on HP ported sftp which is part of HP Secure Shell product. HP SSH is secured version which has sftp/scp/ssh.
thanks for your answer. but what are te futures we have with ftps we can duablewith sftp? like ftps it will change permissions self. like this we can do with sftp? please confirm.
sftp is same like ftp. You can do whatever you do with ftp. sftp is more secured than ftp. That is the main difference. It will use encryption for data transfer.
Also you can do passwordless sftp login. you can do chroot configuration.
sftp has more features than ftp. You talk about rights, you can do chmods with a sftp client. Not with ftp.
ftps is a third thing. If you can consider sftp as a secured version of ftp, ans both are widespread, ftps is definitely rare. I think it's a ftp over ssl, but there are not many clients and server using it.
sftp and ftps perform the same function but are entirely different protocols.
ftps is the secure extension to ftp. It is identical to the relation that https and http have. It is a newcomer so not many existing ftp servers support it. You would need an upgrade or a replacement of your ftp server to support ftps client connections.
sftp on the other hand is part of the ssh suit and the connection is handled by the ssh daemon.
I have not seen a detailed feature comparison between ftps and sftp you would have to look at the detailed feature description of each client to compare them. All the features you mentioned are possible to some extend with both products.
