Hello, wish you all an excellent new year!

I'd like to ask if the Logstash csv plug-in can write to a remove server via sFTP. I plan to setup the logstash in a container within a K8s cluster but the location where the csv needs to be written is in a remote server (accessible via sFTP).  
The flow of the data is like the following

```auto
graph LR
	id1[("ES/Kibana")]
	id2["Watcher"]
	id3["Logstash"]
	id4[("Server")]
	id1 --> id2 --> |Webhook| id3 ---> |.csv<br/>output<br/>via sFTP| id4

```

```

There doesn't appear to be any (s)FTP output plugins for Logstash, so I don't think this is possible.
