Well, the HTTP path is
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/ethereal-setup-0.9.8.exe
and the FTP and HTTP directories are similar, so the FTP URL for it
would be
ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/ethereal/win32/ethereal-setup-0.9.8.exe
so if you log into "ftp.ethereal.com", you'd get it from
"ethereal/win32/ethereal-setup-0.9.8.exe".
Note, though, that there apparently is a version of the "wget" tool for
Windows, which can fetch files by URL - HTTP or FTP - and should do a
better job of not mangling files than some browsers. I'll have to see
if I can find that version of "wget" (or find the mail where somebody
indicated that it existed, as they may have said where it was), and
update that FAQ.
