I assume that by "transparently" you mean that you want it visible in the Finder. That currently is not possible.
In fact, I don't know of any way to even mount an FTP server's space so it is accessible as read-write in Terminal.
But check the main macosxhints site in case this might have been covered in an article there.
And note that there are several text editors (e.g. TextWrangler) that will make text files on FTP sites transparently accessible.

well, transparent mount of SFTP filesystem is certainly possible in Linux, from which am I switching. Assuming that MAC OS X is just another flavour of UNIX, I would be sort of sure that it is possible (somehow)...
The fact, that finder mounts read-only really sucks, and I do not see any good reason why is it so.

Everything is possible. It's just software after all. And the Darwin source is available from Apple. So with sufficient expertise and sufficient time, it shouldn't be too hard. It's just that as far as I know, no one has done it yet.
Of course integration into Finder is another matter entirely since Finder is closed source.
The fact, that finder mounts read-only really sucks, and I do not see any good reason why is it so.
This has been extensively discussed in other threads on these forums. It seems that the reason is merely that there were some bugs related to writable FTP mounts.
