Thank you Andrew'
I found out how to add a remote site to the file tree display in the left
colum. While in the display area a right click gets a "New Top Folder"
prompt.
Clicking that gets an option window. This might be where a little
instruction in the form might be handy. In the bottom input area (with the
drop down arrow) simply type in the ftp address of your site (
ftp://my_site.com) One other nameing prompt will come up after inputting
that and then the remote folder appears in the menu.
I think what would be an easy fix - there are currently three button/menu
items in that "New Top Folder" form but they are all local options. Perhaps
add a "Remote Folder" option to do basically the same as the bottom input
already discussed or just the "Remote Folder" open a help style dialog
describing the ftp address insertion. I've copied this and will submit it as
a suggestion if I can find the link.
