Windows does this out of the box, by typing in an ftp:// address into the default explorer file manager address bar. it even saves logins if you want. Windows has done this since Windows 95 /IE4 days. Good to know that Linux has finally joined the fresh tech wave of the 90's and copied that basic useful function. My little brother once heard Jack and Diane on the radio, and proudly proclaimed that John Cougar Mellencamp has copied Jessica Simpson's "I Think I'm in Love with You." That also was funny.

> Good to know that Linux has finally joined the fresh tech wave of the 90's and copied that basic useful function. I don't think anyone has said that Linux didn't do this in the 90s too, e.g. KDE supports this since KDE2, released in the year 2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_Desktop_Environment_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_Desktop_Environment_2 In pretty much its current transparent form, though more protocols have been added since. Not sure what CDE supported, which I think was the big pre-Gnome/KDE UI.
