The only Windows feature I’m jealous of.

I am sure I have done similar in one of the Linux file managers. Maybe Nautilus? Probably many.

Never tried in Mac/Finder

Finder has a "Connect to Server" option in the menu. Or you can type an ftp:// URL in Safari and it opens there.

The same options are on Nautilus and forks (Caja, Nemo). FTWAI the GVfs API is utilized and resources are accessed via a URI but are also mounted on $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs; usually /run/user/$USERID/gvfs.

It does, but it’s read only.
