Triggering a Connect Job via an API call

Has anyone figured out a way to trigger a Connect Job using either the SOAP or REST APIs?

There appear to be some objects related to Connect jobs in the version 2 SOAP wsdl ("ConnectJob","ConnectJobRun","ConnectJobRunStatus") but I don't see any methods. Some very old libraries I've seen online appear to references some methods that imply it was formerly possible to start running a job. So I wonder if such functionality has been deprecated.

It would be very nice to have such functionality, such that you could programmatically coordinate your SFTP upload and download processes rather than try to keep everything in sync according to times in the day.

Howdy, Stranger!
