FTPing with Safari

I previously reported that Safrai barfs on FTPing. Not so. Safari causes your computer to mount the FTP server as a remote disk. Clearly, Safari is headed in the Internet Explorer embedded in the Operating System direction. You can also use Safari to mount a shared network drive. I don't know how to do it without Safari, actually. But it still takes much longer to transfer ten gigs across the airport than across firewire.
