Can I obtain the same sort of functionality using freeBSD and xfce

I haven't used it, but the sysutils/fusefs-curlftpfs should allow you
to mount
an ftp location as a virtual filesystem. The desktop icon thing you'll
have
to work out on your own, but it shouldn't be too difficult (a shortcut
to
your chosen mountpoint should suffice).
thanks John, That sounds like what I want.
I have previously used KDE as the desktop manager and it included
graphical tools which managed this job. However, I'm learning to like
xfce and looking at what I can do to make it work for me.
