SFTP to transfer lightweight CAD files from Windchill

Does Windchill supports SFTP to transfer files ? Do we need the external jars to enable SFTP in windchill ?

This does not appear to be a question related to publishing but I know support for FTPS is possible. Are you trying to make a customization to transfer files out of Windchill via SFTP? I would think that is up to you. Not following your note about external jars. Are you looking to make a client application to pull data remotely?
