I should perhaps explain that Macs ship with the program "Finder" for  
GUI file-management.

One simply uses "Go" then "Connect to server" - the menus indicate  
that the shortcut for this is Apple-K - and then types ftp://site.example.com 
  in order to achieve an FTP connection. In the window displayed there  
is a + button allowing users to save "favourite" servers.
