SOCKS protocol support for File Nodes

File nodes in broker does not support socks protocol. It would be a nice addition to the File Nodes. Typically external sftp server connections are allowed through socks proxy server in the organizations.

    RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been in the status of Under Consideration. We agree that this enhancement suggestion would bring extra value to the product for some users. Whilst we note that the suggestion has only gathered 2 votes over several years, and therefore it is unlikely that priority will be given to this RFE soon, but we will keep it open for now and continue to monitor. Status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
