Minor improvements in FTP/SFTP

Today, I'm going to write a very short blog post about 2 minor improvements in FTP/SFTP support in NetBeans.
The first improvement is providing detailed information about the file transfer progress (uploading as well as downloading) and we hope that many our users will find it useful. The information is based on file size so it should be quite accurate.
The other improvement is more UI enhancement but again, we hope that it will be useful as well.
As I promised, this blog post was very short but please, do not forget to test it and report all the issues or enhancements you find in NetBeans IssueZilla (component php, subcomponent ftp support).

why does netbeans change owner on remote server?
i had files with 760 (my user was in a group), but netbeans changed owner :(

To Markus F & artis:
Could you please submit an enhancement?
Thanks,
Tomas

To artis:
Are you sure that NetBeans is a culprit? NetBeans does not change owner at all (it can set permissions if checked in properties) - could you please recheck it?
Thanks,
Tomas

Regarding the "Upload open files", I added a shortcut key to the upload action.
When I want to upload the file I'm working on I just hit ctrl+alt+u.
It doesn't upload all the open files at once but it makes my work a lot faster.

Would be great to be able to "view remote" and "compare with remote" where "remote" is your remote FTP directory. Unless you are deploying direct from SVN it is often useful to be able to browse your remote FTP directory and sometimes to compare a local file to its remote equivalent as opposed to just comparing to SVN

another reason remote FTP browsing is useful is for downloading of individual remote files to local when they dont exist elsewhere, e.g. cache files
