 What I'm wanting to do is to mount an FTP site to a folder on my file
 system.  That way when I go to, oh say /mysite on my file system, it
 would automatically log me into ftp.mysite.org/Pub/ for example and
 display the remote site as though it were on my local system.  I could
 then open, copy, move, edit, etc any files I wanted to as though they
 were local.  Any way I can do this?

There's something called ftp2nfsd out there somewhere which might do
this, but I don't know anything about it.  Because filesystems are so
tightly bound to the kernel, though, I prefer not to have any that are
dependent on long network traversals; the ange-ftp (or efs) support in
emacs is a superior alternative for my own work habits.
