I recently stumbled across a feature in nautilus (or whatever program 
monitors the trash folder. you can open your trash folder, then choose 
connect to server, which mounts the ftp site directory as a folder. I 
imagine that you can connect to many servers and move files from one ftp 
site to another. I tried out this feature for a repository and then 
bookmarked the page for later use.

I use gftp most of the time, but this feature looks like it might be 
more promising than diving through many levels via gftp. I'm sure that 
bookmarking the sites in gftp might be just as adequate.

I haven't tried http, nfs or smb mounts with this feature, but if they 
are part of nautilus, they should be capable using these other protocols.

You might try to tinker with this feature a bit.

Perhaps the biggest disappointments were the ones you expected anyway.
