ftp Directory tool

It would be nice to have Directory tool working for ftp. I would like to have the list of files on a ftp server including sub folders

Agree 100% this would be a fantastic extension for this tool to help sort through the correct files to pull down from an FTP.

it would be helpful to make the FTP tools very specific - and split the download tool down into FTP downloads / uploads, vs. downloads of websites or APIs.

 

Additionally it would be helpful to gracefully deal with corporate proxies by allowing the user to log into the FTP server in an embedded browser window, and then keep track of what they do so that the FTP download tool can punch through through corp proxy authentication.

This idea would be very helpful for us as well. It was marked 'under review' 5 years ago...wondering if this is still being considered?
