Safari/unstable and FTP with Finder
Safari really has a stability problem here. It crashes every now and then when visiting a site and It can’t be reproduced by visiting that same site again. Strange enough. Konqi is a lot more reliable, if it crashes on one site it will most likely do so when visiting that site again

When trying to upload something to FTP, I hit <command> + <k> and easy enough, I’ve been asked for the login data and my ftp-server was accessible via Finder’s side panel. Unfortunately I had no write access. A quick search revealed that Finder indeed seems to lack the ability to do so. Bad luck, really. GPL’d Cyberduck works fine but having a external app for my very basic FTP needs.. oh, the Help states that Safari can do it.. no, it just opens Finder. nah..
