I think this is what you were looking for:

Thanks Chris and Peter for the help.
I couldn't get this to work on ftp-www.earthlink.net. I think it is a login id problem. mount_ftp uses the same login id that you have on the mac which in my case is not my email.
Have you tried embedding the login in the URI ?
$ mount_ftp ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] /Local/path
It seems like that ought to work ...
If this is a dead end & you're looking for a better approach, ncftp is also nice...

I just tried the "Finder. Select "Go/Connect to Server", and enter an ftp:// URL in the "Server Address" box" that Sherm mentioned and it "Lost Connection to the Server" and didn't save a thing after trying to copy 2405 files, I think I'll stick to Interarchy for awhile....
Still, I learn something almost every time Sherm post a message here. Thanks Sherm!
