when using "Show raw command line "

It would be very good to have an option so he would always insert SITE befor , so u dont have to type it everytime ..

You're making the false assumption that users only use the "raw command line" for entering SITE commands. If someone wanted to enter "SIZE file-name.zip" to retrieve the file size of a certain file, FlashFXP would then interpret it as "SITE SIZE file-name.zip".

The SIZE command is an FTP command supported by most servers and the SITE SIZE command is supported by fewer servers. In this scenario, how is FlashFXP supposed to know when to prefix the command with SITE and when not to?

The SIZE command is an FTP command supported by most servers and as is the SITE SIZE command. In this scenario, how is FlashFXP supposed to know when to prefix the command with SITE and when not to?

Okie then let me add this

Why not make a combobox with the line SITE or Emtpy so the user could choose what should be inserted in the line ?

And then you would have to go and change that option in the settings all the time. If typing 'site' bothers you that much, why make some custom commands, that is what they are there for after all.
