Perhaps it is because ftp servers are almost nothing like file servers and trying to cover up the differences would make people think it was a reasonable thing to attempt. If all of your operations involve whole files you might be able to get by, but if that is the case you can just point nautilus (and some of the other file manager/browsers at ftp://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Also, what software is good for doing this?
