How do I verify that sftp encrypts the transmission?

build a ftp server with pure-ftpd. After applying for a ssl certificate, you can use sftp. How do I check if my account password is encrypted when I log in? Like sniffing software or something?


if you want to catch ftp , enter ftp Filter rule with Wireshark to see all packets. If there is no encryption, you can see the data of the interaction, or at least the user name.

and sftp and ftp are not the same protocol. sftp is part of ssh , that is, as long as you can log in with ssh , you can use sftp to transfer files
