Talk:List of SFTP servers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this is a bit confusing in relation to the page Sftp which basically says that SFTP can be one of three different things. But, this page is saying that it is one of those three and then provides a link which says SFTP but points to SSH_file_transfer_protocol. This seems a bit confusing to me.

I think this page should be more clear about which of the SFTP protocals it is refering to and the link should have the text SSH file transfer protocol.

I am going to make the link text edit myself... my first Wikipedia edit :-)

I won't make the other change (saying exactly which of the three protocols we are talking about) because I am not sure I know which is the right one.

I'm not generally against your change, but:

• Any abbreviation has several meaning, that does not mean that we cannot use them. We should just link them to their proper meaning for particular context. What was done here.
• There is lot of similar pages, like List of FTP clients, List of SFTP clients, with the same problem you see here. If you really mean it, you should "expand" the abbreviations everywhere.
• BTW, if your link exactly matches page, you do not have to duplicate the link and the title: SSH file transfer protocol
