ftp support for uiget* or uiput*

This might be more of a feature request than a question (unless someone knows how to accomplish this), but it would be nice if uigetfile / uigetdir / uiputfile could work over an FTP connection.

I have a series of GUI's that have the user select a local folder containing data for visualization using uigetdir. I also built in functionality to connect to an FTP server to download files from data acquisition units, but the user must enter the remote folder's address into a text box. It then uses ftp() and mget() to download the files. I have tried using cd() and different ways of formatting the remote address, but none of them allow uigetdir to explore the remote server.

Unfortunately this is not supported.

This would be a great custom component built with a uitree!

Sean, I looked into possibly using uitree as well. I might try making a pop-up UI with uitree when I have some free time. I was just surprised that I couldn't find somebody who crossed this bridge before.
