When I use the finders go, connect to server or mount a volume from
the terminal, the volume appears to be read only. (i.e. drag/drop
onto the volume doesn't work...

mkdir /Volumes/ftpsite
mount -t ftp ftp://user:password(a)ftpserver.com /Volumes/ftpsite

or in finder
ftp://user:password(a)ftpserver.com

finder's ftp is read only. "it's a feature, not a bug."

I'll phrase the response differently from what others have written:

Apple didn't complete its ftp support implementation, so it is read-only
for ftp mounts. Basically useless.
