That is exactly why I wrote: "If you have SSH access". I am aware that FTPS is 
a different protocol.

Which appears to be for KDE SC 4 and is not available in Debian Sid:

> rmadison kio-ftps | cut -c1-72
kio-ftps   | 0.2+dfsg-2    | oldstable       | source, armhf, s390x
kio-ftps   | 0.2+dfsg-2    | stable          | source, arm64, armhf, ppc
kio-ftps   | 0.2+dfsg-2    | stable-kfreebsd | source
kio-ftps   | 0.2+dfsg-2+b1 | oldstable       | amd64, armel, i386, ia64,
kio-ftps   | 0.2+dfsg-2+b1 | stable          | amd64, armel, i386, mips,
kio-ftps   | 0.2+dfsg-2+b1 | stable-kfreebsd | kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-

Also it is no official KIO as it appears to be packages by Debian KDE Extras 
team. Upstream link in package description does not exist anymore (as Berlios 
is no more). It appears to be on Sourceforge, but last update to this project 
seems to have been in June 2014[1]. So this means that yes for KDE SC 4 there 
appears to be something, but unless someone implements it, there appears to be 
no FTPS support in Plasma / KF 5.

On Debian Sid I consequently get unknown protocol for FTPS in Dolphin.
