Thanks - that might be worth checking out as a general file manager (I 
am using "File Manager" right now).

I have managed SFTP access with mine - but the main sticking point is 
you cannot mark files for offline access (aka Keep on Device").

The whole "mount SFTP/SMB" thing is an acceptable last resort - but I 
really would like to have user selectable caching as that makes a big 
difference in usability if the network goes away.
