I'm pretty sure IRIX lets you do something similar -- you can open an ftp site on your desktop. In this sort of drag and drop scenario, I think you could do the same thing in Linux userspace. But maybe there's a reason that you want to do a lower level mount thing? Is this for command line / user ease of use, or is there an application (or would be app) involved?
