FTP - New feature request FTPS/FTPES support

It is cool that it does FTP and SFTP (FTP over SSH); but it would be even more handy if it did FTPS(FTP over SSL Passive connection) and FTPES (FTP over SSL Active connection).
SSH is first and foremost a telnet protocol. As such it carries risks.
In order to use it for FTP users must also, often, have telnet access - not exactly ideal from an administrative point of view.
Many servers now use FTPS and FTPES instead of SFTP.
Being able to access those servers directly from jEdit would be quite the time saver.
I currently use the open source FileZilla client to access these kinds of servers.
