Why do you assume this doesn't work on FreeBSD?I take it is not possible to ftp with Nautilus and Thunar file managers on FreeBSD. Is it correct to assume that is the case?
Both are using the third party software "GVFS" therefore. But at least for Thunar the "Gnome Virtual File System" is optional; So as long you don't set it up it won't work.I take it is not possible to ftp with Nautilus and Thunar file managers on FreeBSD.
