SFTP Transport does not handle encoding correctly for outgoing messages of type String

When converting from String to byte[] in SftpMessageDispatcher.doDispatch default platform encoding is used.

inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(((String) data).getBytes());

should be changed to

inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(((String) data).getBytes(event.getEncoding()));

Workaround is to configure a string-to-byte-array transformer before the sftp outbound endpoint that uses the desired encoding.

<string-to-byte-array-transformer encoding="UTF-8"/>
