WebDAV, not FTP.

Works seemlessly in GNOME, Mac OS/X, and XPeee; pretty much just like
using a local filesystem, except it has this long name that starts with
"http://"

Easy to configure in Apache.

WebDAV will give you less firewall headaches,  the FTP protocol is
inherently broken, and as a net-admin I'm *SO* happy to see its use on
the decline.
