Safari doesn't do FTP.  You configure a default application for Safari 
to launch to do FTP.  Some use the Finder which makes the FTP session
appear as a mapped network drive.  Some use another FTP agent such as
CyberDuck (silly name but it works fairly well).  I have mine default
to launching the FTP session in iTerm.  I suppose, if you wanted, you
could have it launch another browser.  I'm fairly confident within the
iTerm FTP that I can get and put files regardless of the server's OS,
so I don't worry that there's no point-and-click GUI front-end compli-
cating things.
