Did you also consider looking through the wishlist bugs and… using the one 
thats most approbiate to ask about its status and probably vote on it?

Also… – that didn´t come to my mind as you asked on kdepim-users – in one way 
or another it might be helpful to contact developers about it, there is a 
frameworks development mailing list and as KIO is a framework… But I think 
either commenting on an existing bug report… or if none of them are suitable 
creating a new one… would be the first step.

As to why there is not ftps support in KIO I have no idea.

Thanks,
