Dear listers, I often mount an ftp site using the finder, by hitting command k, then typing ftp://, that is f t p colon slash slash, then the address of the ftp server and then enter. If you need to connect to an alternative port on the ftp server, that is also possible, by adding a colon, and then the port number before hitting enter.
This mounts the ftp site, as if it were an external disk, which is fantastic. You can download entire folder structures on an ftp site to your mac, by simply hitting command c on the item to get, even a big folder structure, then going into downloads and command v ing it there. But, we cannot upload. Only download. There used to be software, called mac fuse, that allowed us to mount an ftp site in read write mode, rather than in read-only mode, which is what the finder always does. I experimented with mac fuse under snow leopard and there I had that working as far as I remember, but to my knowledge, mac fuse has not been updated for lion, nor for mountain lion. Is there another way to easily mount an ftp site in finder as read/write, or alternatively, what are you using to upload stuff into an ftp site using your mac? If it's just a zip file or another single thing, then I can help myself with the terminal command line ftp client, but I'd rather find an easier solution. Any ideas?
