Description
Hi, according to this [reply](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44734460/corrupt-file-when-using-azure-functions-external-file-binding/44734647#44734647) on SO, the `External File` output binding has been deprecated and I couldn't find anything related in the official [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-triggers-bindings#supported-bindings). What is the alternative way now to write files to remote locations such as an SFTP folder? Is it to manually upload a file ourselves?
_Note_: I've also posted a [question on SO](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58415948/upload-file-to-sftp-location-from-azure-function)

Clarify whether External File output binding is supported and document the current supported approach for writing to remote locations such as SFTP.
