Creating versions of an FTPS profile

You can create multiple versions under the same FTPS profile. However, only the latest version under an FTPS profile is the default version. You can create versions under the same profile only if the earlier version is in the Provisioning Complete(Production Configuration) status or in the deleted status. The Configuration ID for all versions under an FTPS profile are the same as that of the FTPS profile.
