You only need the business edition for async connections using SFTP or 
SMTP(S) protocols.

If you want to avoid loading the data into memory first, the best 
command for that would be tsNetUploadFileSync.  Let me know if you need 
any help working out the syntax for that.

Yes, that is right.

You guessed correctly.  :-)

The libUrlFtpUploadFile handler in the standard libUrl library returns 
"invalid url" if it doesn't start with "ftp".

I'll check with the LC team, but it probably makes sense to allow that 
command to work with SFTP as well if it detects the presence of tsNet.
