Support ICAP on SSP FTPS adapters

SSP's ICAP capability currently only supports Connect:Direct, SFTP, and https (myfg2.0 specifically when exposing myfilegateway).

Customers require support for FTPS since many partners globally still use FTPS and will continue to do so.
SSP customers are forced into too many hybrid solutions due to limitations like this. As a result customers then opt out of using SSP and ICAP, and opt for other solutions instead.
Please consider supporting FTPS so that SSP customers with FTPS partners do not have to implement multiple AV solutions.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. FTPS is a legacy protocol , giving a support on FTPS is time consuming hence we can revisit this once we see interest from more customers (via Voting or Comments)
