 Just thinking outloud here, I dont know if this is posable, or practice to
 implement, but here it goes:

 I would be nice to see a True SSH connection support for Cyberduck. It
 would allow cyberduck to issue commands just like in terminal. This could
 include deleting of entire subdirectories in a split second.

 I can also see a possibility of a real command prompt being available. So
 terminal commands are issued when a user action is performed in the GUI
 and vice versa; a UI action is generated when a command is given in the
 "terminal". Like changing the directory view when "cd" is typed.

 As a web developer, Im often split between the decision of opening up
 terminal vs cyberduck. I have to think to myself about what kind of
 limitations cyberduck has, and if what I'm doing is best suited to a drag
 and drop gui, if I am doing something that goes beyond the limitations or
 is cumbersome in cyberduck.

 I love to use a gui like cyberduck for moving a few files around, or
 checking on backup files. Most other tasks I tend to favour in terminal.

 It would really make my day, if I could always open cyperduck, and know i
 can delete a large subdirectory in a split second through a gui, but could
 also "cd .." through directories and then compile some software and then
 move a bunch of files between servers with a drag and drop...

 Anyhow, I guess I'm combining several feature requests here.

 1. Connect directly to SSH in order to eliminate limitations os SFTP.
 2. Provide a command prompt that the GUI responds to.
 3. Provide integrated functionality of the duck CLI

 Thanks for listening.
