SFTP vs FTPS – Secure File Transfer Protocols Explained
It’s been a while since concerns were raised about FTP due to its lack of security. Now that it’s more or less a thing of the past, it’s time we all got better acquainted with its successors, SFTP and FTPS…
With so many acronyms in the file-transfer world, it can be very easy to feel overwhelmed.
In order to choose the best method for your needs, you need to understand how each one works.
That’s why I’m here to give you a quick run-through of two of the game-changers: SFTP and FTPS…
File Transfer Protocol Secure
FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) builds upon FTP by combining it with SSL/TLS.
If you’re not clued up on SSL/TLS, I would recommend reading our article, but long story short, the concept started as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which has now evolved into TLS (Transport Sockets Layer).
TLS not only encrypts your data so that if you fall victim to a man-in-the-middle attack, the attacker won’t be able to make use of any information they manage to get hold of, but it authenticates the connection between the browser and web server.
This is done with SSL/TLS certificates. A website with a certificate signed by a publicly trusted certificate authority (CA) will be trusted by client software such as web browsers and operating systems.
When the browser connects to the web server, it checks whether a valid certificate is present. If it is, the “handshake” process begins, where the browser and server negotiate how to proceed.
A valid certificate allows the browser and server to verify that each other is legitimate and therefore form a binding connection that is very difficult to penetrate.
Adding this layer of security to FTP turns a completely unsecure method of file transfer into one which is pretty hard to hack.
Secure File Transfer Protocol
So now we know how FTPS keeps your files safe, it’s time to take a quick look at SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).
SFTP was developed as an extension to SSH (Secure Shell Protocol) – check out our article for the full lowdown.
SSH is a way to remotely log in to one computer from another over an unsecured network, via a secure channel.
When you combine SSH and FTP, you get SFTP – a method of transferring files over a secure connection. SFTP encrypts your files and data and then sends them over a secure shell data stream.
You initiate the connection by creating or obtaining credentials, which you will need to input into an SFTP client. This authenticates you as a user and allows you to begin the connection.
You can also connect via the command/line terminal but you will still need to log into the system to verify yourself as an approved user.
SFTP vs FTPS
If you’re a WordPress user looking to grab a copy of your files from your server, SFTP may be your best bet, as you might not always have the certificate required to form an FTPS connection.
The good news is that file-transfer clients such as FileZilla allow you to select which method you want to use, and since all the encryption and securing of the channel is done in the background, they all look and work the same at the user’s end.
So, the bottom line is this … if you care about security with a capital ‘S’, then you should give a ‘S’ about FTP too!
The Best Design System Tool is Slack
There’s a series of questions I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. The questions have to do with design systems work: Where should we document things? Do we make a separate app? Do we use a third-party tool to document our components? How should that tie into Figma or Sketch? What about written documentation? Should we invest a lot of time into making a giant Polaris-like wiki of how to build things?
The issue with all these tools and links and repositories is that it can become increasingly difficult to remember where to go for what kind of information. Designers should go here and engineers should go there — unless, of course, you’re an iOS engineer, then you need this special resource instead. It can be overwhelming and confusing for everyone that doesn’t live within the orbit of design systems drama and is just trying to ship a feature on time.
After years of struggling with these questions, I think my current advice to my past (and current) self is this: meet the people where they are. And where are most people asking questions about design systems, whether that’s a color variable or a component or a design pattern?
In Slack!
The other day I thought it would be neat to set up some Slackbot custom responses to do a rather simple thing. When someone types color me into a channel, I all the color variables and their hex values are pasted. That way, no one needs to learn a new tool or bookmark yet another link.
Here’s how it works.
We first have to open up the settings of the organization you’re in and click the “Customize” item in this dropdown:
That pops open a new tab with the “Customize your Workspace” settings. If you select “Slackbot” from the options, then you can then see all of the custom responses that have been set up already. From there, we can create a new response like this:
That \n is what breaks things onto a new line so that I can now test it out in a chat with myself once I’ve saved this:
Because this takes up so much darn space, I also made separate answers for each color, like blue and purple. But all of this has me wondering: how else can we use Slack — or whatever chat app or communication tool — to extend the cause of good design systems work?
I bet there’s a ton of other things we can do to improve our lives within tools like this and make design systems work even easier.

Adding CSS to a Page via HTTP Headers
Only Firefox supports it, but if you return a request with a header like this:
Header add Link "<style.css>;rel=stylesheet;media=all"…that will link to that stylesheet without you having to do it in the HTML. Louis Lazaris digs into it:
[…] the only thing I can think of that could justify use for this in production is as a way to include some Firefox-only CSS, which Eric Meyer mentions as a possibility in an old post on this subject. But it’s not guaranteed to always only work in Firefox, so that’s still a problem.
Do with this what you like, but it’s extremely unlikely that this will have any use in a real project.
I appreciate some classic CSS trickery.

Live Tech Talk and Demo: Getting Started with DevOps on Snowflake [Webinar Sign-up]
The benefits of building a DevOps culture in software companies are clear. DevOps practices integrate once-siloed teams across the software development lifecycle, from Dev to QA to Ops, resulting in both faster innovation and improved product quality. As a result, most software development teams have deployed tools to enable DevOps practices across their workflow.
The topic of database DevOps is trending right now and most Snowflake customers are asking about it, especially those who want to build a modern data platform in the cloud. But actually doing DevOps for a database environment is difficult and has some unique challenges compared with doing DevOps for applications.

5 Virtual DevOps Events You Can’t Afford to Miss This Year
Conferences and events makeup to a trillion-dollar industry and have been playing a major role in connecting people from different parts of the world and exchange ideas. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the first major tech conference that got canceled due to health and safety concerns was the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the annual gathering of electronics makers.
Along the way, similarly, Facebook also canceled all physical conferences and events by June 2021, including the major F8 Developer Conference and most awaited Oculus Connect 7 virtual reality event that was supposed to be held in San Jose.
Serverless CI/CD on the AWS Cloud
CI/CD pipelines have long played a major role in speeding up the development and deployment of cloud-native apps. Cloud services like AWS lend themselves to more agile deployment through the services they offer as well as approaches such as Infrastructure as Code. There is no shortage of tools to help you manage your CI/CD pipeline as well.
While the majority of development teams have streamlined their pipelines to take full advantage of cloud-native features, there is still so much that can be done to refine CI/CD even further. The entire pipeline can now be built as code and managed either via Git as a single source of truth or by using visual tools to help guide the process.
