How do a sftp uri look alike?

I am new to SFTP,

For the ftp, the link will appear as

ftp://servername/folder/

We can see the list of files in that link.

To look on a specific file, the link will be mentioned as

ftp://servername/folder/test.txt

AFAIK there is no official standard. But sftp://server/path is what is suggested. There is an IETF draft that proposed that.

Almost no browser natively supports sftp though. You need a sftp client installed for sftp support. So using that type of link is not likely to be very useful.

One client you might use for this is WinSCP. There is documentation about the protocol handlers it can support.
