Yup. I gave MacFuse a good try and could not get it to work. It seems to
have withered on the vine such that anyone with a newer OS can't get it
to run. Hopefully someday someone will give it some love but for now
either standalone FTP apps or using the terminal are the best way to
upload via FTP.

Hi Kawal,
Mac fuse makes it possible to mount ftp sites read write. Mac fusion
merges 2 things, namely the mac finder, and a remote ftp site. Imagine
you have an account on an ftp server. What you can do already, is
connect to the ftp server using finder, and then browse and download
stuff from it. This means that if you want to access an ftp server,
even if you have a dedicated username and password for it, you don't
need an ftp client program such as transmit. You can simply use the
finder if you want. However, what you currently cannot do, is upload
files to the server from within finder. So, having the server files in
front of you, looking like any other finder window, you currently
cannot command v new stuff into this window, hoping it will be
uploaded. This is because finder mounts an ftp server as read only.
Using mac fusion, which is a program you can google and install, you
can do just that, thereby extending the finder's capabilities. I asked
a solution for ftp sites not being read write, and Chris Blouche came
up with the mac fusion solution. We both tried it, because it was a
very interesting idea, but if I remember well, we both fell on our
noses. I have Lion, and both mac fuse as well as mac fusion have not
been updated for Lion as far as I am aware now. Now is september 2011.
At least I'm sure of mac fusion not having been updated.
Hth,
Paul.

Nancy and Amy,
Lion is indeed voiceover friendly. There are a few minor issues,
that, once you know about them, won't be a show stopper. Midi
playback, I haven't got to work yet, but otherwise Lion is fine.
Some programs don't yet function on lion. For example, there is
something called mac fuse, and something called ntfs 3g, mac fusion,
that is not the same as vm ware fusion, but if you've never heard of
these, you won't miss them. In that case, there is no need to worry,
but as Karen said, if all works well and you don't need more, why
bother for now.
Of course, there is a little downside to not upgrading. The longer
you wait, the fewer people will use the same system as you do, and
therefore cannot answer your questions any more.
Hth,
Paul.
