Paul, The only issue with this is, to the best of my knowledge, unless things have changed, at which point, do let me know, I don't think you can upload to an ftp server with this method. I think it only will let you download.

Just hit command plus k when you are in finder. This opens a dialog where you enter a url. This url can also start off with ftp colon slash slash, rather than with http colon slash slash. So, say you want to connect to a server called ftp.somewhere.com. Here’s how to do it. If the port for ftp is the standard one, i.e. if it is simply 21, then you hit command k, you then type ftp://ftp.somewhere.com into the text field, and you then hit connect. Your username and password will be asked for. Enter them and you will be in. To get a list view, hit command plus the number 2. This remote ftp server then looks just like a normal finder window. You can copy files by hitting command plus c on them, you can traverse folders etc, and then if you go to your desktop, downloads folder etc, then you can hit command v to paste and download the files you selected, from the ftp server. If the ftp server you are connecting to uses a non-standard port that it’s listening on for your incoming ftp connection, then you simply append a colon, and the port number to the name of the server. So: command plus k, and then: ftp://ftp.somewhere.com:4094 where 4094 is the non-standard port number the server requirees, if applicable. Hth, Paul.
