Can the FTP/SFTP Smart Service plug-in be configured for FTP over SSL? (i.e., FTP-S) We currently use the plugin for a basic FTP connection but will soon be transitioning to a new server that requires us to have a FTP over SSL connection (same FTP configuration but set up a Client Certificate vs. Third Party Credential).

FTP-S may be a bit tricky, since it may require additional configurations.
Any chance you can switch the server to use SFTP or SCP? Maybe support can be added for both FTP-S and SFTP?

The FTP server currently in use is being decommissioned so we need to transfer all applications to a new one that is being set up as a FTPS server which requires that a client certificate be installed on the machine (in Appian) that is connecting to it. So - neither the SFTP nor SCP smart service can work. Also - in the documentation that comes with the plugin, you can only send one file over SFTP at this time. We've been using the FTP smart service which allows for the transfer of multiple files. We use this for both sending and receiving files.
