I use SSH Secure Shell to SFTP into my server, and I'm starting to get very very sick of it.

Let me list off why I hate this thing:

1.) Whenever I log-in and choose a local folder, the program freezes slightly. Why? It's just navigating from folder to folder! Agh!

2.) In the options menu, the "Cancel" button does _not_ work. It doens't close the window. You have to always hit "Okay." Great.

3.) The program supports dragging and dropping between your local and remote folders (as it should). But lets say for a second you select ... 300 images to upload from your local. But you realize you're in the wrong folder? So what do you do? You naturally just release the files in the local folder. Then the program should gracefully realize you're not actually trying to move the images into the same folder.

Instead I get the stupid error message:



And guess what? I have to hit "Okay" 300 times now. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

4.) It cannot "remember" local folders. It would be nice if I ftped to the Tabulas folder it would automatically go to what I've defined as my Tabulas local folder. But NOOOOOO... I have to find it.

Disclaimer: I realize my projects are nothing compared to a program like SSH Secure Shell, but jesus... you're getting paid as PROFESSIONALS to write software. I'm an amateur. I'm allowed to screw up!
