Description (last modified by dkocher)
For connection we will need a place to add "resource server" in "more options" this is where users connecting to a very specific resource server can add it. It would be ideal if in the XML for configuration we could specify that i.e multiple resource servers the user can choose from.

We cannot add a graphical user element for this with no matching feature in any other supported protocol.

If we can specify multiple regions (I assume as I have shown below) Could we specify a empty string for a resource i.e <string>iplant:</string> so when no resource server is specified ...it lets the server decide, but when you explicitly pass a resource server name it will use that to upload/download data.
<key>Region Set by server</key> <string>iplant:</string> <key>Region A</key> <string>iplant:resourceA</string> <key>Region B</key> <string>iplant:resourceB</string> <key>Region Default</key> <string>iplant:</string>

Sorry, I reread your email and looks like you are suggesting to create a profile per "Region" i.e one per Region. Which also is suitable as a given user will not have more than 2 to 3 resource servers. Most users will leave it blank and let the server decide.

The resource can be omitted and will default to an empty string.

Replying to dkocher:
Would it be acceptable if you can specify the resource in the connection profile as part of the Region using a colon separated syntax such as
<key>Region</key> <string>iplant:storageresourcename</string>
I tried using this construct for a resource server named hadesRes:
<key>Region</key> <string>iplant:hadesRes</string>
and got the following error in Cyberduck while connecting (I am using mac and the snapshot build from today) /iplant:hadesRes/home/nirav. Please contact your web hosting service provider for assistance.
