Feature description

I love Fossify apps and want to contribute.

Is there any interest in supporting remote filesystems such as SFTP or Samba? If yes, I can implement them. However, I do not want to put in the time or the energy if this is not something Fossify File Manager is willing to accept and merge to mainline.

Why do you want this feature?

Remote filesystems are fairly common now, especially SFTP which is very easy to set up.

Thank you for updating the issue.

@ddpasa I cannot say whether there is an interest from maintainer's side, but there certainly is an interest from users' side - see #50.

I'm happy to implement it @chesio , but I don't want to do it before getting the approval from the maintainer that they are interested in merging such a feature. It is discouraging to put time and effort into something, only to be rejected as 'not interested'. It had happened to me before.
