Our secure file storage provider does not support SFTP. I'm hoping to migrate our folder sync processes and some other operational stuff to NiFi. Unfortunately it seems NiFi does not support FTPS.
After a little research[1] it seems that one could extend FTPTransfer[2] to work with FTPS[3][4] (possibly using an implicit = true/false parameter in the processor). Is there a reason why FTPS support was left out? Does anyone have a custom processor that handles FTPS already? I noticed this ticket which is listed under 0.7 low priority[5]. Is this something that might come in a later version? Thanks in advance.
