I haven't done as much editing with VO and pine or vi so others might answer that, but the command line is generally usable with voiceover.

As far as ftp, you can probably find generic documentation all over the internet but generally you do

ftp some.ftp.site.com

and the do the username password thing. Once connected you just say

put filename

or

get filename

and use the cd to change directory or ls to list the files in a directory. When you first start up terminal it defaults to landing in your home folder

/users/my_username/

so you might first want to go to your desktop folder and then into the folder with your files to upload like this:

cd Desktop/project_folder

then start up ftp. There are also mput and mget which lets you do multiple files at a time. So once you have FTPed to someplace you would cd around to the remote folder you want to put stuff in and then do

mput *

which would upload all the files from the current local folder to the current remote folder. There's lots more but maybe you're already hankering for a GUI app that hides all this detail. For me it used to be the only way (before GUIs) so I'm kinda used to the command line version :) Anyway, it's already baked into OSX so you can play with it for free while you wait for a better GUI solution to be suggested. Like all unix commands you can get more detail on how to use it that you want by using the 'man' or manual page command:

man ftp

Happy typing.

forgive my innocent nose...but does vo work with the terminal / port programs, or would one need another screen reader?
sort of tie this question to the one producing pine wisdom before.

If you don't mind using the command line there is a perfectly good ftp and sftp built into the unix terminal side of OSX.

 for sure that lion and cute ftp don't play nice.  so, could someone
suggest a cheap if not free ftp client that is easy to use. I don't want a lot of bells and whistles just let me upload the changes to my website.
 any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,  max
