Well, of course somebody had already written something like this. Can you say  
kitchen sink? :-)  The package of choice is called ange-ftp by Andy Norman of  
HP. I picked it up and found it to be a fantastic package. It uses the FTP  
protocol to do the transfer and even supports file name completion in the  
mini-buffer. All in all, a wonderful package.

Thanks to all that replied! (There were too many to send out individual  
replies to.)
