Default multiple SFTP-to-FTP tunnels

There are two different computers for which I need to use an SFTP-to-FTP tunnel to connect, using FlashFXP. The remote path I would like to connect to for each of these computers, however, is different.

Unfortunately, it'd appear that Quick Connect can only store one. If I ftp into www.domain1.tld and then change the domain to www.domain2.tld, a new entry will be created in Quick Connect. In contrast, if I FTP into 127.0.0.1 with a remote path of /a/ and change the remote path, later, to /b/, no new entry is created. The old one is updated and that's it.

This means that I have to do a lot of copy / pasting of remote paths whenever I'd like to connect to a different SFTP server then the one I was previously connected to.

The Site Manager distinguishes between the site name and the IP address. I tried creating a site name (named a) of a with a remote path of /a/ and an IP address of 127.0.0.1 and a site name (named b) with a remote path of /b/ and an IP address of 127.0.0.1, but... I can't. Atleast not in the Quick Connect section of the Site Manager. I can do it in the FlashFXP Sites section, but I'd rather not. I'd like to be able to connect to both sites with Quick Connect.

So, the way I see it, there are either two options.

1. Create a new entry in Quick Connect when a different remote path is entered.
2. Let people change the site name, manually, in the Quick Connect part of the Site Manager.

Is there a way to do either of those two things or should I file a feature request?
