The two URLs with and without a '/' on the end are for different
objects.  The problem is that without a '/' on the end any relative
links to files will lead to the incorrect file.

For the URL ftp://ftp.foo/bar/ a link to a file called foo.html will
mean that you meant ftp://ftp.foo/bar/foo.html.  In IE if the '/' is
missing then the link will mean ftp://ftp.foo/foo.html which is
totally different.  For this reason the FTP directory listings need to
have a '/' on the end.

Don't use IE!

Can you send me (not the wwwoffle-users list) the error messages.
