MacSFTP is a Macintosh application used to transfer files over TCP/IP using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) subset of the Secure Shell Protocols (SSH). SFTP is the replacement for the old and insecure File Transfer Protocol (FTP), with the addition of strong Encryption/Authentication.

Note that SFTP is NOT FTP over a secure connection. Even though, from a user perspective, they behave the same, these two protocols are completely different, and you cannot connect to a regular FTP server using MacSFTP. The host you want to reach must be running an SSH server with a properly configured sftp-server, and can safely shut down the insecure FTP access.
