what you mean is sftp.. for windows a great client is winscp. I used it for years, along with putty, which you can find anywhere, just google putty.exe . both programs use the secure port 22.
No... he means FTPS... like he said...

It is a perfectly valid way of securing FTP and given that chrooting SFTP is not trivial for a lot of use-cases, whereas chrooting FTP is a very well known operation, FTPS actually has some advantages over SFTP.
