So you simply create a link (.desktop file) via drag&drop and assign it a 
folder icon? Or do you mean having the contents of the remote filesystem 
displayed in-line with the local filesystem in tree view mode? Sounds 
interesting, but probably is hard to achieve.

Passwords and user names are handled just like in any URL: 
protocol://user:pass@host/path (at least for most 'classic' protocols), that 
should be no problem. Asking for a pass when one is needed is regular IOSlave 
behaviour.
