git-ftp doesn't work correctly

[JacobDB]

I just discovered git-ftp and I was super excited to try it out. Unfortunately it looks like your extension doesn't work with it properly. I'm not sure what exactly the issue is.

• Adding a Git-FTP remote seems to work okay, but when I try to remove one, I often get an error (which I of course can't reproduce now that I go to log it)
• Every time I try to add a new FTP remote and push, I get an error: Error: fatal: Could not get last commit. Network down? Wrong URL? Use 'git ftp init' for the inital push., exiting...
• Opening Git Bash, and typing git ftp init, I get fatal: Remote host not set..
• Still in Git Bash, if I type git ftp init -u ftpuser -p ftppass example.com/public_html, the remote sets up correctly and pushes. Going back to brackets-git, refreshing Brackets, and checking for Git-FTP remotes just lists "Create new Git-FTP Remote..."

Considering I can get it to work via command line, maybe it'd be better to prompt the user for username, password, and URL, rather than the combo ftp:// URL you currently ask for.

hi @revxx14 , git-ftp was implemented by @FezVrasta so maybe he can help in here

@revxx14 I’ve had issues sometimes with special characters in the password; enclose it with quotes or double quotes and that might help. You can also manually edit the .git/config file under the [git-ftp] section if needed.
