I would like to see support for direct connections to ftp sites.  This would allow direct access and download capabilities for files (like imagery or LIDAR tiles) and would facilitate working with them directly in ArcCatalog, Model Builder, etc.  Basically, it would be nice to treat an ftp site like a Folder Connection.

Hi

The Data Interpoerability extension supports connections to data at an FTP path.

I guess the question is whether this access should necessitate checking out an extension or be there by default.
