If you use Emacs with Ange-ftp (unix-flavour only?) you will find that
at least point 2 and 3 are present. It also allows the
machine:/whatever method of doing ftp. I use it all the time, and it is
great for browsing a server, marking all the wanted files, and getting
them all in one go, while doing something else.
It is, however, requiering you to use Yet Another Editor. This limits
its usabillity somewhat. :-(
