So my suggestion is, to use the yellow "Busy..." pane to show the user given FTP label by default, and on server transactions overlay the label with the processing messages ("Busy..." or "Error: ..." or whatever).
What do you think?

FTP Pane Suggestion
More and more often I work on servers, where I have a live and a development environment on a server separated on two vhosts. The problem is, when I am switching between live and dev-system I can not recognize it after a while, because on hovering the FTP pane I only see the host in the statusbar, which in such a configuration is obviously the same

Re: FTP Pane Suggestion
What's wrong with looking at the status bar?
Re: FTP Pane Suggestion
Well nothing ... only just a hover to much?
No there is really an annoying issue in this behaviour. Imagine the following situation on a host.
vhost-project
vhost-projectdev
Within vhost-project and vhost-projectdev is nearly the same file and folder structure ... because the dev environment is for testing or demonstration purposes.
So every vhost has/ is it's own user, but they have the same host - let's say domain.com
vhost-project -> http://www.domain.com
vhost-projectdev -> dev.domain.com
So what's the end of the story? You have two (S)FTP entries "domain.com" and "domain.com (dev)", but when you are connected to one of them, how do you determine with which user / vhost you are connected? See the problem
?
(vhost-project) -> ftp://domain.com/test
(vhost-projectdev) -> ftp://domain.com/test
No difference at the statusbar on hovering the sidebar.
PS: yes, I know I could write http://www.domain.com or dev.domain.com in the host field of the (S)FTP settings, BUT sometimes servers have a different internal host name instead of the public domain name
