FTP with SSL/TLS in Dolphin

[solitone <solitone@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, is there a reason why FTP with SSL/TSL (ftps://) has not been implemented 
in Dolphin? 

There are some wishlist bug reports about, like the following from from 2003:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66117

There was a kio-ftps, but it didn't work very well. Furthermore, it hasn't 
been ported to Plasma / KF 5.

I wonder whether this protocol is somehow discouraged, or it's just a missing 
feature.
