I've already started a list for improving this:
make "new folder" button work
include window title as a parameter
replace ">" with a cute little folder icon
make "OK" button label change to "Open" at appropriate times (when
folder single clicked)
Please add requests if you'd like.

Answer file and answer folder are great ways for the user (or
coder) to browse their local hard drive and select a folder or file.
But browsing a remote FTP folder has never been as easy- until now!
Here is a stack you can include as a substack in your projects that
make browsing and choosing remote folders and files as easy as
local ones.
Instructions:
jjAnswerFTPfile:
----------------
Syntax:
jjAnswerFTPfile tURL, tUserName, tPassword, tMsg
Description:
tURL: the URL of the site (example: "craniumnet.com")
tUserName: the FTP username
tPassword: the FTP password
tMsg: the dialog message you want to appear (example: "Please
choose a file")
You will find the remote file and path in the DialogData.
jjAnswerFTPfile:
----------------
Syntax:
jjAnswerFTPfolder tURL, tUserName, tPassword, tMsg, showFiles
Description:
tURL: the URL of the site (example: "craniumnet.com")
tUserName: the FTP username
tPassword: the FTP password
tMsg: the dialog message you want to appear (example: "Please
choose a folder")
showFiles: set this to "showFiles" if you want files to appear in
the browser. Leave it empty (or set it to anything else) if you
want only folders showing up.
You will find the path to the remote folder in the DialogData.

This is far from polished, for example, the "make new folder"
button doesn't work yet :-)
Also, you may want not just the path returned by the correct ftp
string for accessing the data, which can be easily done with a
slight mod. I will upload this one soon, let me know if you have
questions.

For the demo, just fill in the fields and hit the buttons to see a
demonstration.
Anyway, I hope this will prove valuable to those of you needing to
browse and choose remote files and folders.
The stack is here:
