This has been something Mac users have wanted for the better part of a decade. When I heard we were moving to a Unix core, I was sure this would be implemented. But no. Instead we have a protocol that requires hundreds of times more data per folder listing to be transmitted than FTP, and transfers files at a third the speed, with a strong back-wind.

May good fortune shine down for all eternity on the person who figures out how to do FTP from the desktop. (And sadly, Interarchy's method doesn't do it for me--my server has many times the storage capacity that my client system has (so I can't cache the whole site locally).

I listened to the Power of X presentation and was very interested by
something Avie Tevanian said. He mentionned that protocols are pluggable in
Mac OS X, and that support for AppleTalk, SMB and WebDAV, for example, are
currently implemented this way. What I'm wondering is, is there such a thing
for FTP? And what about the APIs to create a pluggable protocol module, are
those public?
