Have used lufs on a number of occassions although I haven't tried using it for ftp. Use it mostly to mount via sshfs. lufs (or linux user land filesystem) allows you to mount various network services as if they were local or network mountpoints transparently. Comes in handy if you don't have the time, energy or privledges to set up nfs or samba and/or execute various locally available commands (find, mkdir, cp, shell scriptins, etc. ) on files on remote machines. You need to obtain or compile kernel modules and support programs (lufsmount) for it to work. Works pretty well. My only problem with mounting over ssh is that I have to set channels=1, otherwise the performance becomes flaky...
Good luck.
