I use it for file management on my wife's iMac (I'm usually ssh'd in, while she uses the console). I also use it to keep her small business web site updated (it supports ftp, which is what my wife's web host uses).

Ouch!
By all means, please switch to a protocol of the 21th century!
Midnight commander supports secure protocols like SCP or SFTP as well.
Also, there's sshfs which allows you to handle the remote directory like a local one without any special features of mc (or KDE or Gnome). However, I don't know whether sshfs is available on the Mac.
Anyway, there's hardly any reason to use FTP, unless your hosting provider doesn't care a lot about security.
MacFUSE exists, and sshfs is usually the 'flagship' file system for FUSE, so I would gamble that it exists. It's off-topic, but a few years ago I remember someone creating a bunch of nifty file system plugins to MacFUSE to do things like create a file system that represented the open applications and/or windows on OSX. They seemed to be mostly tech demos, but I found it interesting.
Midnight Commander is great!
