It's been a while since I did FTP inside IE but I suspect not. In Safari
it will mount a simulated disk drive on your desktop with the contents
of the FTP site in read-only form there. So you can goto, say,
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org and login as guest which will then put a drive on
your desktop called ftp.mozilla.org which you can then navigate the same
way as any other drive. You just can't write to it, which I think is a
shame since it's such a nice way to navigate an FTP site.

Does Saphari not handle FTP like IE does?

As far as ftp, you can probably find generic documentation all over the
internet but generally you do
ftp some.ftp.site.com
and the do the username password thing. Once connected you just say
put filename
or
get filename
and use the cd to change directory or ls to list the files in a
directory. When you first start up terminal it defaults to landing in
your home folder
/users/my_username/
so you might first want to go to your desktop folder and then into the
folder with your files to upload like this:
cd Desktop/project_folder
then start up ftp. There are also mput and mget which lets you do
multiple files at a time. So once you have FTPed to someplace you would
cd around to the remote folder you want to put stuff in and then do
mput *
which would upload all the files from the current local folder to the
current remote folder. There's lots more but maybe you're already
hankering for a GUI app that hides all this detail. For me it used to be
the only way (before GUIs) so I'm kinda used to the command line version
:) Anyway, it's already baked into OSX so you can play with it for free
while you wait for a better GUI solution to be suggested. Like all unix
commands you can get more detail on how to use it that you want by using
the 'man' or manual page command:
man ftp
Happy typing.

sort of tie this question to the one producing pine wisdom before.

If you don't mind using the command line there is a perfectly good
ftp and sftp built into the unix terminal side of OSX.
