There are some third party vendors who sell adapters to supoprt SFTP. Or you would have to create on on your own. Google for more details.

You can use Seeburger SFTP adapter, most of the companies are now-a-days using this third party adapter.

You can also PGP encryption benefits with these adapters.

Why not just use the ftps capability of the ftp adapter?

We have implimented and tested this using a TCP gateway on the internet.You can encrypt both the control and data connection, which means everything is sent secure including the ftp user and password.

The only challenge with FTPS is setting up the ACL's on the firewall.
