I have been using Filezilla and gFTP but it's actually unnecessary to use GUI apps on proper systems with FUSE support! Now I can use any browser/editor and work with remote files over FTP like it was in a local folder.
CurlFtpfs must not be used anymore… prefer simply the must-have Rclone.
It support many cloud providers and... of course FTP protocol :)
Use the « mount » option for mount the FTP to a local directory, exactly like CurlFtpFS. And… Rclone can handle VFS Cache Mode… Don’t forget to add --vfs-cache-mode writes for fix the potential issue with read/writes buffer ;)
