Feature:

SAO Transmission Fix

Issue #:

211841

Change:

Modified code to ftp Data Export for SAO using DNS address for VPN.

Reason:

Some districts are running into issues where the FTP connection is closing before the .arc file is completely transferred resulting in an incomplete .arc file on the FTP server AND the zip file not being cleaned up.   There is also the issue of data being transferred using a public interface.  Not only will this be more secure because it goes over the VPN, the VPN tunnel will protect it from being disconnected (in theory).
