I have configured a number of local to same-server-sftp folders (>10). On start it looks like FFS is starting many threads each connecting and authenticating to remote server. The ssh server or some firewall on the way does not like it and some connections fails.

Would be nice to queue the connections and spawn next after previous has authenticated.

Also keeping password as base64 in config text does not look roubust at all.
A pubkey authentication should be implemented eventually.
An option to not remember password but enter every time again(maybe once per user@server only) should be implemented.
