Hi Jörg, Thanks for the link, but I don't think that quite addresses the issue.
What I'd like to see is the ability to automatically install a VFS provider that isn't already on your local machine. For example, if I wanted to see a directory listing of "sftp://someserver/somedir"; and I don't already have the SFTP provider installed, VFS would download and install it for me. This is similar to the way in which Groovy's @Grab annotation automatically installs dependencies when you attempt to run a script whose dependencies you don't have.
