You should check the WinSCP nuget package at (https://www.nuget.org/packages/WinSCP/). You can find examples at the Project site (link found on the nuget package page)

SFTP and FTP are different protocols and libraries to use are different either. FTPS can be achieved using FtpWebRequest class in .NET Framework. However, there's no need to know the difference and you can still connect to both servers using the same code and transfer files and directories from one server to the other regardless of server type FTP or SFTP.
