gftp -> Supported + cool desktop todo item [Was: Isn't gFTP deprecated?]

[Yann KLIS]

Hi,

One more thing to note. The ftp gnome-vfs module think that all ftp
server understand all the ftp commands it passes to it. But that's not
true. For example, the ftp gnome-vfs module doesn't work with my xbox
buit-in ftp server. But gftp does work with it.
