I really don't recommend using the FTP terminal app unless you have
experience working with command line apps. If you don't, it is likely
to be a confusing and difficult process.
Transmit from Panic.com is my FTP client of choice. It is not free,
however. :)

Transmit is not free. That is it's only real drawback. The FTP command
line option in Terminal is included as part of the system, but will
doubtless prove difficult for less advanced users. While I could use
the FTP option in Terminal, I find it too clunky for m y own personal

VoiceOver supports assigning Braille display keys to Voiceover
commands. Also, you do not need to hands to necessarily perform
VoiceOver functions, as there is a Control-Option lock which causes
the system to interpret all commands as if they are VO ones.

QuickNav is one of my favorite features of Snow Leopard. I discuss
this in my review on Lioncourt.com, but essentially, Left/Right arrows
toggle QuickNav on and off. Down-Right interacts. Down-Left stops
interacting. Up-Down clicks an item, same as VO-Space.

Obviously, you can't have every VO command available via just he arrow
keys. :) However, you can assign any VO commands to the Numpad,
