Any way to use SFTP with ACS SE?

[ericgunn01]

We're trying to keep ftp out of our network and I'd like to know if there is anyway to get sftp to work with the ACS Applicance or if there's another option for backups/restores other than ftp?

Not sure why you want ftp for backups/restore, ACS has inbuilt functionality for the same.

The appliance does? I need to be able to get my backup off the appliance for storage.

Currently the only way to secure a database backup is by encrypting it using a key from the section,

System configuration > ACS Backup > and put any key to encrypt the database backup from "Encryption Password" and check "Encrypt Backup File", and take a backup.

Other then that we already have an enhancement request open with us,

CSCsi15224 : Secure protocols aren't available for backup/restore operations
