The way I was planning to implement it was for the app to act as a

server. It'd then run its own FTP server (accessible only from
localhost), which the Finder could then mount. When the app receives
various FTP commands (LIST, etc.), it'd talk to the plugin, re-format
the output as necessary, and pass it back.
Meh. Sounds awkward and klunky.
I'd throw away the whole "local FTP server" hack, and look into
mounting the remote system directly with a VFS - Virtual File System -
plugin. Ask around on the Darwin lists.
