I _hope_ that when they write 'FTP' they actually mean '(FTP or) SFTP'. Alas, that's no always true.

That's FTPS, not SFTP, to be precise.

The former is classic FTP sessions secured with TLS on all or some (negotiated at runtime) connections. The latter is a (saner, IMHO) separate protocol traditionally run over SSH session.
