FTP inside mc

[Thomas Kuiper]

Hello,

I find the FTP interface of mc really useful and I'm willing
to develop an extension to it to support FTP profiles. Right now
its only possible to connect to a URL style address and its quite
annoying to type or search/remember some frequently used FTP sites.

I'm thinking about a interface right now and thing it should be like
this:

Menu Left/Right->Ftp Link opens:

------------------ FTP Link -----------------
  Profile Name:     ____________________[^]
  Host:             ____________________
  User Name:        ____________________
  Password:         ____________________
  Port:             22__________________
  Init. Remote Dir: ____________________
  Comment:          ____________________

  [ ] Use passive transfer
  [ ] Don't store password in profile

  [< Ok >]  [ Cancel ]  [ Delete Profile ]

---------------------------------------------

Rules:

+ If no Username was specified user "anonymous" is used (with password
  configured under Options->"Virtual File System Settings".
+ Profile gets automatically saved when changed or name specified.
+ If the password isn't supposed to be stored in the profile its asked
  in a new dialog.
+ Returns to the dialog in case a connection failed.
+ 

Suggestions?
