Description
What about allowing the user to specify arbitrary URLs in the annots.xml file of a Quickload site, regardless of whether it points to a resource on that site? These URLs could be a simple file accessible via HTTP or FTP, or a DAS resource, or whatever. This makes Quickload more of an organizational mechanism than purely a data storage mechanism.

Works, even on protected servers!
When you want to test it, let me know. I will explain how to test.
I tried Nick's test site, but the only thing that looked like it should load was called 'Data (FTP)' and when I tried to load it, it shows up in the data management table, but NO track is created at all...
IS this a bug?
Can't reproduce the bug.
I think we should created our own quickload site and have different file nodes in annots.xml. For example, the file is from local server or from other online server(HTTP, FTP...).
Also we can do some other test for power user...
Please explain.
To test:
Download attached QL folder. Add QL to IGB server list. Open A thal. You should get the private server authorization (for our 'Old data' on transvar.org) After authorization, it should offer you 'Pollen' and 'protected test' files. Check the protected test file (bed file of junctions) zoom in and then load data.
