Do you have to login to the FTP server to which you are trying to
connect?  If so, you need to do something extra, probably.  Can you
connect to it with a command line FTP program?  If you need to login
with a username, try entering this in the address bar:
ftp://username ftp-server com/
If necessary, you will be prompted for a password.  Perhaps the FTP
server requires some simple password for user "anonymous" which is
used if no username is specified (ie like ftp://ftp-server.com/) 
Which FTP server are you trying to connect to?
