  Uhh... I don't think that would be very useful... Finder's support
for FTP is both royally broken and abysmally slow. It only supports
read access. Unless this was promised to change for Tiger (and I
haven't read anything about that anywhere, and I don't get the top
secret stuff), I'd say you're better off writing this so it is a file
system plugin.

  There's maybe even already one for BSD or Darwin that would only
need to be ported and made to talk to your app... who knows?
