Hi Dave,

Here's something you may want to try:
// could have selected a filter reference

Object value = selectFolderAction.getValue();

if (value instanceof ISystemFilterReference){

    ISystemFilterReference fref = (ISystemFilterReference)value;


    ISubSystem ss = fref.getSubSystem();


    // target for filter should give the most relevant folder

    Object target = ss.getTargetForFilter(fref);


    if (target instanceof IRemoteFile){

        remoteFile = (IRemoteFile)target;

}

Dave
