Implement secure connection methods for Batch Voucher export

Description

Note: This work was split from . to the ability to export batch vouchers and have them upload to an FTP server.

Description
Overview: Allow for batch vouchers to be exported to an SFTP server.

Use cases:

  • The library is transferring sensitive financial data and must keep this data as secure as possible. The system we currently use relies on SFTP

  • The library is transferring sensitive financial data and must keep this data as secure as possible. The system we currently use relies on SCP ( Note could be considered lower priority as per comments below)

Proposed approach:

Allow users to input a secure location in the upload location of batch configuration settings.

I just wanted to make note here that we may just barely have capacity to implement this for Poppy so it has been added to the release. If estimates were too low we may not be able to complete this for the Poppy release.

To echo Aaron's recent comment above, Duke is also waiting for this feature.  Do you have a sense for which release might include this?

An addition use case we have found is that none of our five IT departments will maintain FTP servers. So regardless of the need for security of financial information, the ability to send voucher exports to an SFTP server is required to make use of the voucher export.

Note this will depend on refactoring of the voucher export to use the data-export-spring module as it already allows FTP and SFTP configurations. This module also provides scheduling capability so this features implementation is also tied to as they both depend on the refactoring.

  SFTP is an option for us - got confirmation back from our AP staff that if we need to switch from SCP to SFTP they can handle that.
