The second link I provided has step-by-step instructions on exactly how to do just that. So, the steps are as follows: 1) Install MacFUSE. 2) Install MacFusion. 3) From MacFusion's menubar, choose Quick Mount→FTP. 4) There is no step 4.

Boot Camp is not only free, but will be in your Utilities folder already. And, as EDCC suggested, if you are running Tiger, and not a newer version of OS X, then it's not so simple, but still doable with Boot Camp.

Are you still running Tiger or something? ...
