Well, I was curious, so I looked at the landscape.

Anyone know anything about CyberDuck, Transmit, ExpanDrive or Forklift?  Of 
these, Forklift appears to push all the buttons (and solve all the problems, 
and support all the providers).

Why does so much necessary Mac software have to be paid? *Sigh*

And, yes, the FTP file system in OS X supports read-only access to FTP servers. 
 You can use the ftp client at the command line, and you can handle multiple 
files using mget and mput, but not recursive file copying.  To be honest 
though, FTP really isn't an ideal protocol for general-purpose use, because it 
has no command pipelining (it's accessible as a protocol extension, but that 
has to be supported at both ends).  As also observed it's not very 
NAT-friendly, neither.
