My use case is I’m transferring large already encrypted files between two servers connected via wireguard.

Is there any benefit to SFTP over FTP in this case?

    I… think the only difference is that potential eavesdroppers could determine the number of files, and their rough size. And I guess… the filesystem location on the target server. I mean the main thing that’ll be unencrypted is the FTP headers, so whatever else is in there.
