Description Anton McConville

When I try to sftp to my web host using Orion I see no feedback.

By testing a few things, I learned that my username was causing problems, since it has an @ in there ( my username is my email address - my host won't let that be changed for sftp either ).

The sftp client needs to allow for an @ in the username [ Filezilla allows this ].

Also - there was no feedback when I tried to sftp - no error, or warning.

The user interface could be improved a little bit too - to suggest the structure for adding the ftp details - for instance if it needed the sftp prefix or not.

fixed the main point (handling username with @)
Agree we need many more improvements but we'll cover them in other bugs.
