    Yes, you are missing the point.

    FTP is a fucking mess, I hate it, I wish I could kill it today everywhere. It is a disaster to manage with a firewall. The horrendous idea of using separate random ports for data connection vs control connections, the active/passive methods, it's is pure evil.

    SFTP is not FTP over SSH if you did not understand, it is a proper FTP that happens to run over a secured link.
