SFTP account

Disable the SFTP account

POST/api/v1/sftp-account/disable

Files already in the folders stay where they are, and nothing dropped in IN or TEST/IN is taken until the account is enabled. Send an empty JSON object as the body. Needs an Idempotency-Key header and a key with the submit permission.
