The toolchain and a large amount of the tools for doing PS2DEV are designed for a *nix environment, so working in linux can make things a lot easier. Some individuals here will debate whether it's a smart move or not, but thats beyond the point ;)

FTP is a standard protocol... so there shouldn't be "compatibility" problems really... I just use the command line 'ftp' for my ftp uses so I can't do much other than recommend it ;)
As for "how to boot ps2vfs" ... I have no idea what you are wanting to do. You mean sending programs to the PS2 to run them? If so you'd want to use ps2link.

You have installed java, right? Java doesn't come with Linux, you have go get it first and install it. If you go to the main JAVA download page at Sun, you'll find 32-bit and 64-bit versions of java. I suggest getting the RPM version as it's easier to install. You run the bin file, scroll through the license text until it asks you yes or no, answer yes, it then extracts the RPM and installs it. After that, java works just fine.
