suggestion for FTP in nautilus

[Andreas Nilsson <nisses mail home se>]

Hello there, I'm new to this list, so don't shoot me if this has been 
suggested before.
I recently discovered the FTP abilities of Nautilus and once I managed 
to connect to my webserver (that was a bit hard in itself, but maybe I 
get back on that one some other time) it has been a really nice experience.
I have one small problem though. Since I often manage a lot of websites, 
I often have similar directory structures in both my home folder and on 
the webserver. I often run into the problem of not knowing  which of the 
folders one is on my computer and which is on the webserver and often I 
drag files from the wrong folder and instead of uploading a new file, I 
download an old one.
I thought about this and came up with a solution of the problem and made 
a mockup.

As you can see in the mockup, the folder on the server has a globe in 
the background. Pehaps an svg image would be suitable, so it can scale 
when the user changes the size of the window.

Yes, this is the eye-candy approach, the lesser exciting way to do this 
is to put the text foldername host domain in the window list, but 
displaying the image in the back makes it really fast to see where the 
folder is located.
