Security Tips for Webmasters - SSH & SFTP

Google's Webmaster Central Blog just posted a nice checklist for webmasters to help verify key security measures.

It mentions the need for secure data transfers, which is possible with SSH and SFTP connection protocols.

"SSH and SFTP should be used for data transfer, rather than plain text protocols such as telnet or FTP. SSH and SFTP use encryption and are much safer."
