CLI FTP:
1. ftp ftp.host.com
2. login
3. cd public_html/mydir
4. get myfile.html
5. exit
6. kate myfile.html
7. ftp ftp.host.com
8. login
9. cd public_html/mydir
10. put myfile.html
11. exit


Or, you could just do

1. ftp ftp.host.com
2. login
3. get public_html/mydir/myfile.html
4. `!kwrite myfile.html`
5. put myfile.html
6. exit

If you're a common CLI user you can do steps 1-3 in the time it takes him to open Konquorer and get logged in.

P.S.
List is significantly shorter when you know how to use `ftp` huh?  ;-)
