Mount an FTP server locally

I do a lot of work with files hosted on an FTP server. Currently to edit a file on the server I have to open the server in Cyberduck, navigate with the mouse to the folder I want and then click "Edit," which opens a temporar开发者_运维知识库y file. Anyway, editing files on the server would be way easier if I could use the terminal to navigate through the file directory and edit files. Is there a way to create a symbolic link in my home directory to an FTP server?

edit: I'm on a Mac

If your using linux you can mount an ftp site with curlftpfs. Check out this tutorial: Ubuntu Geeks Curlftpfs

If you are on windows you can use NetDrive: NetDrive.Net

With either of these you can create links/shortcuts to your hearts content.
