Not a good idea!
OP: Thanks for posting this. It is indeed helpful and useful in several trivial cases!
Just so everybody is aware, your FTP info is stored in plain text, unless you happen to use TrueCrypt whole disk encryption, or some similar utility. Even if you do, when you get up to visit the water cooler, a sneaky coworker might just happen to peek at your desktop and see this.
Once you click that shortcut or use it, your password is in browser history.
Also, chances are you aren't using
sftp and chances are that your server disk is NOT encrypted. I would advise strongly against using this to store copies of your birth certificate... passport... visa... especially while traveling.
If you use this, while helpful, keep the data trivial!
Just my $0.02.
