	FTPS is very similar to "SFTP" in operation. However, It uses a control channel and opens new connections for the data transfer. As it uses SSL, it requires a certificate~~. SFTP was designed as an extension of SSH to provide file transfer capabilities, so it usually will only be accessible via the SSH port for both data and protocol~~. Like SFTP, FTPS encrypts all communication with the server, ensuring that your username, password and data are kept safe at all times. While FTPS works on port 21, you '''do not''' need to have legacy FTP enabled to take advantage of FTPS support.		FTPS is very similar to "SFTP" in operation.
