Has anyone found a way to mount FTP folders as regular folders in the finder (with read/write, not Apple's readonly way)?

I've read on this list that Interarchy supports mounting ftp disks with read/write, and I think Sune told me he'd used it previously.
Hmmzz.. yes, but that's just a copy really which is updated to the server every so often. Did some searching, Linux has 'lufs' which supports it, but it doesn't compile under Darwin atm. (for those interested http://sourceforge.net/projects/lufs http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/intro.html)
A workaround I got was to open the files seperately, then dragging the window's icons to a new project window (or if you open its parent folder from the titlebar you can drag all the opened files to TM), selecting the files in the project window once so they get a tab, and then you can close the original windows - edit/saves will update the version on the server. If you close the original window without 'tabbing' the file, the temporary file will be removed (and editing will not be possible).

I guess I could postpone “closing” the file till e.g. TM exits -- though currently the “document” really is closed and disposed in TM, so I'd need to change some code for this to actually work, and since it really is just a workaround for not having native-support, which is around the corner, I don't think I'll be spending much time on improving this currently.
Ah, please leave it as it is - right now it behaves in a logical, predictable way :-)
