Ok, makes things much easier. In that case you may directly use the
gsiftp implementation instead of dealing with our model or the wrapper
implementation. So in fact let's assume you have your gsiftp-URL. Then
just get a corresponding file store with:

URI uri = new URI("gsiftp://egee016.cnaf.infn.it:2811/";);
IFileStore fs = EFS.getStore( uri );

At least if the eu.geclipse.efs.gridftp plug-in is installed correctly
this should give you an IFileStore object pointing to the root directory
of your gsiftp server (Check your access rights there, not everybody has
access to the root dir ;-) If you would like to directly access a
directory or a file on that server you should just specify the
corresponding path as part of your URI, i.e.
URI("gsiftp://egee016.cnaf.infn.it:2811/home/johndoe/mydata.xml";).

So now you're totally free to use the methods defined in IFileStore
(http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.do
c.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/core/filesystem/IFileStore.html) to list
children (childNames(...), childStores(...)) or to open input and output
streams if the underlying file store is not a directory
(openInputStream(...), openOutputStream(...)). It should be just as
simple as that.

Note that there is still the need to authenticate yourself against the
gsiftp server. A GlobusProxy should be enough. If you have problems with
programmatically creating such a proxy you should have a look at this
posting http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/geclipse-dev/msg01050.html
and its follow-ups (or just ask again ;-)

Sorry for bugging you with the other stuff about the connections. This
gets very important if you are using EFS within the Eclipse resource
trees or if you are intending to use the g-Eclipse model in larger
parts. For your case the pure EFS should be sufficient. Sometimes I'm a
bit too deep in our architecture ;-)

Hope that helps,

Mathias
