I looking for a solution which give me an additional option to "Save as" menu in some way (it could be a plugin or a Windows shell command, it really doesn't matter).

What I would like to achieve:

  1. When you right click for a link to you get a "Save as" drop down menu.

  2. When you hover over this option, you get sub-menus like:

    • "Save as directly to my ftp server" - when you click this option, the file gets saved immediately to a preconfigured folder.

    • "Save as to a specific folder" - we need to look for folders on the server, and select where we want to save the file.

My operating system is Windows 10 x64 pro version

Adding a menu option very likely requires some sort of hacking.

But your intention was probably just to have quick access to your FTP server, right?

If so, you may want to map it somewhere accessible. This can be accomplished in two ways:

Connect your FTP server as a disk drive

Windows does not have this capability built in, but there are some third-party sofware to do the trick:

Refer to program documentation on how to map your FTP server to a drive.

When saving, just save it to the new mapped drive as you normally would.

See this question for details

Synchronise a local folder with FTP-server in background

This is just like dropbox, but instead of dropbox cloud your files go to your server. You just save your files to a normal folder on your local drive, and some software copies it to the FTP-server once in a while.

The upside of this method is that saving files is not as terribly slow as sending your files in real time.

The downside is that you need to ensure the files are actually synced before shutting down your computer or disconnecting from the network.

These programs should help you (you may need further help setting them up):
