this patch should solve that problem
if the kate maintainer can comment on this and let me know if i can commit it.
The patch will test the file existance in a synchrounous way so if you load 20 
files from the same fish ftp or other remote protocol it will ask the 
password ones for every server. This is a quick hack and maybe can be 
optimized.
