Hi Emmanuel, it is easy to add an additional page to the connection wizard and connection property page and to save that parameters on the connection element. We have an Extension Point for that. I will try to document the extension point next weekend, if I don't do so, please remember me ;-)
I think some kind of auto-detection of the server type and version would be cool. Another cool thing would be to edit a remote file, e.g. using scp/sftp.
