Hi everyone / Tom,

There is a use case for an FTP application for this Milestone. Allow me to
explain what I'd like to see for this:


   - A simple QT dialog that allows you to connect to an FTP server to
   upload and download a file.
   - The FTP server and account information can be hard-coded; no need to
   have an input on the dialog for this.

The usage for this Milestone should be as follows:


   - Connect to an FTP server (your iLocker) and download a user profile


   - Once downloaded, open it up in a text editor and alter one or more of
   the fields
   - Upload the newly changed user profile
   - Delete the user profile locally
   - Download the profile again
   - Open it locally to show that the upload and download functionality
   works.

This is a simple proof of concept so that we can learn the ropes of what
types of issues may crop up when we need to do this within a game.

This should be a great reference:

Let me know if you have any questions.
