SFTP (Shielded Foil Twisted Pair) for CAT6 cables, while offering benefits, faces certain limitations:

Why not to use SFTP?

Non-standardized Protocol: Unlike the well-defined FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SFTP lacks a uniform set of rules. It's a broader term encompassing various SSH-based implementations. This diversity can lead to compatibility issues, as not all SFTP servers and clients support identical features. For example, certain SFTP servers might not support resume or append functions, and some clients may lack capabilities like file locking.

Performance Overhead: CAT6 SFTP cables, utilizing SSH for encryption, inherently have higher processing and bandwidth needs compared to FTP cables. This encryption process can reduce data transfer speeds. SFTP's reliance on a single TCP connection may also restrict data throughput and concurrent file transfers. Conversely, FTP cables can facilitate parallel file transfers over multiple TCP connections, boosting speed and efficiency. While FTP offers data compression to reduce file sizes, SFTP typically lacks default compression support.

Firewall and Proxy Challenges: CAT6 SFTP cables might confront hurdles with firewall and proxy configurations. SFTP generally operates on SSH's port 22, which some firewalls or proxies may restrict, impeding connection establishment and data transfers. In contrast, FTP cables can adapt to various firewall and proxy settings using different ports and modes. FTP's passive mode, for instance, can navigate firewall limitations, and its TLS options can resolve certain proxy issues.

Security Considerations: While CAT6 SFTP cables are generally more secure than FTP, they're not immune to security risks. Vulnerabilities like man-in-the-middle attacks can compromise SFTP cables. Additionally, SFTP can inadvertently reveal sensitive file information. Addressing these security concerns often entails implementing complex measures like robust password policies and access controls.

Protocol Alternatives: Depending on specific requirements, alternative protocols might be more apt than CAT6 SFTP cables in certain situations. Protocols like FTPS, SCP, and WebDAV present diverse features. FTPS, extending FTP with SSL or TLS encryption, offers similar security as SFTP with greater FTP compatibility. SCP provides secure file transfers with limited functionality, and WebDAV facilitates file transfers over HTTP/HTTPS with broader web service integration but less security.

In summary, while CAT6 SFTP cables offer heightened security and interference protection, they come with considerations regarding performance, firewall compatibility, and potential security trade-offs. Alternate protocols might offer solutions more attuned to specific user needs and contexts.
