Description

The SFTP dialogue for adding a connection to a dedicated server tries to automatically connect, as soon as the host is entered.
When coupled with no cancel button and and a really long (potentially infinite afaict) wait to get any error back is a horrible user-experience, for setting up a connection to a server.

Research direction

Start with the SFTP dialogue for adding a dedicated-server connection and reproduce the behavior by entering a host. Inspect how the connection attempt is triggered and how cancellation or errors are handled; done means the setup flow does not leave the user waiting without a way to cancel or receive an error.
