Would like to see future release that supports SFTP. Is this in the works?

SFTP is not in our plans yet.

I asked about sFTP capability on September 1, 2011 in this forum. You're adding DropBox and Amazon, but not standard secure transmission?
Obviously your product is not geared toward corporate customers.

The reason SFTP is not a part of SQLBackupAndFTP is because in our estimation we see the effort of adding it to be greater than the reward our users would get. We would add it if we see enough demand, but we don't now.
Obviously FTP is not secure. However if you use AES encryption for the backups - your data is safe even if used through FTP. Same applies to your comment about Dropbox being unsafe.
Also we see more and more of our users to switch from FTP to cloud services for backup storage, so FTP is becoming less important and we concentrate our efforts on cloud.

Hi,
We are happy to announce SFTP protocol is supported in the last release 8.1.0. Please pay attention it's available in Professional version or above.
