Default multiple SFTP-to-FTP tunnels

There are two different computers for which I need to use an SFTP-to-FTP tunnel to connect, using FlashFXP. The remote path I would like to connect to for each of these computers, however, is different.

Unfortunately, it'd appear that Quick Connect can only store one. If I ftp into www.domain1.tld and then change the domain to www.domain2.tld, a new entry will be created in Quick Connect. In contrast, if I FTP into 127.0.0.1 with a remote path of /a/ and change the remote path, later, to /b/, no new entry is created. The old one is updated and that's it.

This means that I have to do a lot of copy / pasting of remote paths whenever I'd like to connect to a different SFTP server then the one I was previously connected to.

The Site Manager distinguishes between the site name and the IP address. I tried creating a site name (named a) of a with a remote path of /a/ and an IP address of 127.0.0.1 and a site name (named b) with a remote path of /b/ and an IP address of 127.0.0.1, but... I can't. Atleast not in the Quick Connect section of the Site Manager. I can do it in the FlashFXP Sites section, but I'd rather not. I'd like to be able to connect to both sites with Quick Connect.

So, the way I see it, there are either two options.

1. Create a new entry in Quick Connect when a different remote path is entered.
2. Let people change the site name, manually, in the Quick Connect part of the Site Manager.

Is there a way to do either of those two things or should I file a feature request?

A unique quick connect entry consists of an IP, Port, User, Pass

If all of these values are identical then we consider the entry to be an entry update rather than a new one.

While in your case it might make sense to create a new entry for the majority this probably wouldn't be true.

I am not sure what the difference is between the two methods.. (quick connect or using the actual site manager).. in terms of why you would want to use qc over sm.

QC: Hit F8, select from history, hit connect.
SM: Hit F4, select site, hit connect.

In both cases the Remote Path box is on the main/initial tab, so its no harder to edit one over the other.
