Your leap the future was a bit challenging for me to read. Because of one 
outstanding issue.

SFTP was not on the list! That's continues to be such an irritation that this 
is not prioritized.

see bug: bug 6405<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6405>  Please, 
everyone go and vote.

Please, Please PLEEZE! Prioritize this request. it is much more important that 
your realize.  95% of all apps today must communicate with the web. This means 
the teacher, the enterprise, the business, the developer etc. must be 
transferring files to the web server. The tight integration between data on 
servers and apps that remotely access that data is a universal given these days.

Today any small desktop widget like Skitch (take sscreen shots) or desktop code 
editors. etc.. they *all* come with SFTP as a standard protocol.. you just 
enter your host, user name and password in pref and away we go... with the user 
name and password encrypted.  on mobile as well.

For LiveCode not to have this doesn't make sense in today's world. It is 
fundamental to development frameworks across the board. It  should not be 
considered something from a kickstarter or some feature exchange fund raiser... 
it's too close to core operations to even be called enhancement...passing user 
names and passwords in the clear ? in 2016?   It's as if the product were 
missing one foot! Adding a foot to the horse is not an enhancment. It's fixing 
something crippled.

Here we are working out all kinds of tools and apps and we *still* have to 
switch over to anFTP client to  dig for an upload/downlown files that are 
integral to the whole framework being built in LiveCode.  Regular FTP is today 
blocked on most web server firewalls.
