sftp != ftp != ftps
sftp - "secure" ftp (i.e., implementation of FTP-like protocol, that is
not actually FTP, over SSH transport)
ftp - "traditional" file transfer protocol
ftps - FTP with SSL (very rarely used)
If the server in question is running vsftpd, then you want to use a
client like lftp or inetutils-ftp or similar.
