• Incognito mode, to not remember files --incognito
• Document all code components
• Dotfile for default properties
• Host configuration file for host tags, to easily upload to other hosts
• Generate man pages

• Release binaries on GitHub
• Ubuntu PPA package
• Move API URL generator methods out of remote file class
• Prompt if a file download password is required
• Do not allow empty passwords (must force with -f) (as not usable on web)
• Must use -f to overwrite existing file
• Rename host to server?
