• updating server directory content (implemented)
• renaming and deleting server directories and files (not implemented)
• always single threaded download of files from the server (not implemented)
• upload photos from iPhone photo gallery to the server and vice versa (not implemented).

2. GUI:

• entering server address, user name and password (implemented)
• reseting server address, user name and password with physical shaking of the device (implemented)
• creation, deleting and storing bookmarks with information about server, user and FTP settings (implemented)
• animated switching between server directories (implemented)
• sorting of directory content by name, modification date and file size (implemented)
• editing of text files on the server in inner editor (not implemented)
