This is typically more secure as does not allow terminal sessions, TCP port forwarding or X forwarding.

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) was designed as an extension of SSH to provide file transfer capability, so it usually uses only the SSH port for both data and control. It uses a control channel and opens new connections for the data transfer, it also requires a SSL certificate. Now, it's best not to confuse SFTP with FTPS, both of which are two very different protocols. If you use Linux, FreeBSD or some other kind of *NIX based system, you've probably already used commands like scp or sftp before.
