Then what you meant was correct, as I know of an FTP client that will
accept a URL[1].

>Ummm.  Is there a specification for the UI of an FTP client?

No. RFC 765 and RFC 959 only specify the protocol. There are some de
facto standards, but they're pretty crude.

[1] I haven't looked into the URI-URL distinction.
