Both VirtualMedia and UpdateService define a TransferProtocolType enumeration used for specifying which protocols are supported (for InsertMedia and SimpleUpdate actions, respectively).
In both of them, SFTP is described as "Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)."
In fact, the proper expansion of this abbreviation as it is most often used is "SSH File Transfer Protocol" (wikipedia IEFT). However, SFTP has also been used to mean FTP over SSH (wikipedia) and Simple File Transfer Protocol (wikipedia) .
Googling for "Secure File Transfer Protocol" shows that for some people it means the first usage, and for some the second. I recommend that the description be changed to "SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)." to avoid ambiguity.
