FTPS has pretty much-replaced legacy FTP as a file transfer protocol and is quickly replacing FTP/S. It provides all the functionality offered by these protocols, but more securely and more reliably, with easier configuration. There is basically no reason to use legacy protocols anymore.
SFTP also protects against password sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks. It protects the integrity of the data using encryption and cryptographic hash functions and authenticates both the server and the user.
