Quickly make SFTP connections.

[spams]

It would be nice to have ability to quickly open SFTP/SCP sessions to already opened SSH sessions - for example by clicking somewhere on opened session window where a menu which offers this functionality pops up.

I've been thinking about this also. I have two ideas right now:

1. Open a "Select File" window so the user selects a file and gets sent to the currently opened server.
2. Open a Dialog with two fields: ssh servers (combo-box) and file (with browse button).

I've also been working on a script for Nautilus so the user would get a nice dialog with the saved aliases when right-clicking on a file. Just select one of the servers and SCP it.

Two main problems here:

1.) Send from the local machine to the server. I'll show a dialog with a combobox with all the SSH servers. The first one and the default will be the current one on the tabs. Will only work with SSH servers.

2.) Retrieve a file from the server we're working on. The main issue here is how to get the fullpath since mcm will issue a scp command on the local machine (the other way around is not practical since the server probably doesn't have access to the internal lan) So using the same dialog with the browse button disabled and the combobox with all servers but with the first selection "localhost". This way we can copy files from one server to another.
