[Feature request] Use Casper Admin to drag and drop packages and scripts to servers

[talkingmoose]

In our environment of about a dozen repositories scattered across the globe,
we don't have a need to clone our master repository to all the servers. We
only need certain packages and scripts in certain locations.

Casper Admin 5.11 allows me to drag and drop my newly created packages and
scripts to different configurations. I'd like to be able to do the same with
the FILE SERVERS section at the bottom of the list on the left.

If I create a new package or script and then want to copy it to multiple
servers then dragging and dropping to each server would ideally mount the
server, copy the item and unmount the server.

What about this option? In the Information part of a package have a list
or option or checkbox to indicate which servers it should be replicated to.
Then some packages could be replicated to all servers and some packages to
only a few or whatever. I like the drag and drop idea, but I could easily
forget which packages I put where.

I get why some might want to do this, but there is no way that I ever would because it just requires too much thought/work. I can understand if syncing bandwidth is an issue or space problems exist on one of the file servers, but other than that I'd always want a copy of every package on every file server in the off-chance I'd ever deploy it using that server. Then I don't have to add it to that server after the fact when someone wanted NOW. It is also like a built-in off-site back-up.

Think about...would you rather:

"Ok, this package goes on this server and this one here, and this one not here..."

OR

"Click, sync, done."

This is only my opinion.
