Hi.

When configuring a new PHP Application from Remote Server, you have to enter FTP settings, including Initial Directory. It would be nice to have a small browser for directories on the server.

I imagine it as a Browse button on the right of the Initial Directory field.

A typical use case for this feature is when you have to modify a Wordpress template. You would specify as Initial Directory the root folder of the template, so /wp-content/themes/templatename to avoid modifying WP core files!
