That is precisely what I'm suggesting. The interface I'd like to see is
something like Windows' "Network Neighborhood", where you get a list of
mountable shares (and I suppose a text entry for non-queryable servers like
SSH or FTP), and double-clicking on the server, or typing it's address in the
entry, mounts it over FUSE, similar to the way CDs are currently mounted
through HAL and it's mount helper. Perhaps even having an "protocol mount
directory" would be a good idea: "cd /mnt/ftp/username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
would transparently mount the server. But I don't know if this is possible with
FUSE currently.
