I agree. ftp and cifs are different protocols. cifs is for mounting windows shares. What are you trying to accomplish?
The file manager can access a ftp site via ftp:// using its built in virtual file systems but the same can not be used in fstab or the command line.
It is possible to install additional packages to mount a ftp site as a "regular" file system but with out a subscription you can not do it using Redhat.
But as already said above the one BIG problem on working with Red Hat without subscription is you will not have access to global yum repositories. Although you might create a local yum repository with the packages available in the DVD.
