True, you can set it up to work fine under FTP, however people who connect to their sites via front page are out of luck.
Personally I use front page to connect to my server, but I have all my pages open/edited in Dreamweaver. This lets me publish only the pages I made changes to, and makes it much quicker and easier for me to develop and test pages. (Do the work in Dreamweaver, save, switch to FP for a second, and then preview). When I am done I just press publish give it the destination and in a minute or two all my changes are live. (Dreamweaver's FTP publish is kinda bad in my opinion and seems to take forever).
Plus once I get a hang of far cry I was thinking of perhaps offering hosting with it, and I know some people will want to use front page to connect.
A potential workaround I thought of would be creating a script that copies all of the templates from a FP accessible section of the site to the normal templates directory for far cry.

The friendly urls looks like it might do what I want, however if I understand your other response, I would edit the templates normally and then manually move them over outside of the webroot so that farcry can use them?
The problem is that I will be setting this up for my self currently, but I might add other customers (in the future) that I would like to give this option to. They would need to notify me when they want to add those templates (more work for me). I could setup some kind of batch script or something to copy them over every night, but it should be automatic.
There is no reason for the templates to be under the webroot if you are using FTP. It just depends on how your hosting provider is set up.
