Thanks for good tips and hints. I like the idea of switching between an advanced and an basic view. For the topic regarding the direct connection from Bookmarklist I would appreciate some more opinions. My intention was to see the server URL before connecting in order to verify that it is the right server, because once you are connected you don't have an inidication to which server the connection has been made. What do you mean by connecting progressbar? Do you mean a forth and back running progressbar during the time where the aplication trys to connect until connection is established? Regarding the downloading/uploading progressbar: My plan was to implement this feature. That's why I use the QFtp module for File Transfers. If the SSH feature is requested I have to switch to ftplib module, which doesn't seem to give me the file size of remote files. So a progressbar is not possible anymore with SSH I think. What do you think?
