mount_ftp ?

Hello Hackers, 

wouldn't it be a very cool feature to implement a "mount_ftp" command
like MacOS X has?  Then you could do: 
mount_ftp user@ftp-server/ftp-path /local-path
(mounted read-only).  

This may save the clutter from setting up an nfs-server in those
situations where read-only access suffices.  

Another variant would be mount_sftp (like Konqueror can do sftp://...).
