FS plugin behavior when comparing files

[Lefteous]

I'm using the Secure FTP plugin as a source to compare files. I noticed the following problems:

1) When one of the remote files has changed, this changed is not reflected in the opened compare window (severity: really annoying).
Expected: Clicking compare makes sure the remote files are transferred again to the client (if changed) in order to create updated temporary files and then these files are recompared.
Even better solution: Changes are detected automatically (prompt is displayed) just like when comparing local files - I guess this might be impossible unless you have a server that supports some kind of notification system.

2) When opening compare twice for the same files an overwrite prompt is displayed (severity: not a big deal as it's a quite unlikely case).
Expected: Different unique temporary names are used.

Well, you are using (S)FTP.
As a matter of fact you do not have a direct access to the filesystem to get a notification.
The file list has to be requested manually each time again.

Well the solution idea that I provide in the next sentence considers the fact that a notification mechanism doesn't work for all (or maybe for no) server types.
