The dang server I'm trying to access isn't running sshd.

To the others, I know what a protocol is and I know what a filesystem
is...I'm sorry I couldn't come up with a better description besides
"mounting an ftp filesystem".  Maybe I could have said "I want to mount an
ftp share as a filesystem", but whatever.

Also, I don't want to manually move files around, thats what I want to
avoid, its a nuisance.  I want to break the cycle of write, ftp, compile,
write, ftp, compile.  I want to eliminate that ftp step.

Also, I know lufs can accomplish what I want, I just want to know if there
is anything more up to date or better.

Thanks.
