Advantage -vs- Disadvantage: SFTP -vs- SCP

Given your above statement, I would say the best option is to NOT connect it to any network at all - ESPECIALLY the internet! ;-)

Subject: Advantage -vs- Disadvantage: SFTP -vs- SCP

Hi folks,
I have a server I'm building that is internet accessible and I'm
wondering if there's any advantages/disadvantages of using either SFTP
-vs- SCP?

My primary concern is overall security of the server (even if that
means inconveniencing the end users), and I'm wondering if one method
might be better than the other?

Comments???

Thank you,
Ed
