Jeremy, I believe you are correct that substituting the FTPSClient class (explicit by default) would work [1]. If your workflow is pretty consistent in the necessary operations, you may not even need to extend the entire processor, and could instead script something quickly via ExecuteScript/InvokeScriptedProcessor.
I can’t speak to an explicit reason FTPS was not implemented. It is likely that the user requirements at the time found (S)FTP to be sufficient for the documented use cases. In general, existing tickets which target non-latest releases, have a low priority, are unassigned, and have not been updated in many months are unlikely to be included in future releases without revitalized attention. If this is something you’re interested in, I’m sure there would be support on the lists (probably more on [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>) to help you pursue it. If you’re not prepared to tackle it, you may still have better luck finding another community member willing to help there.
