Same. Or leaving it available in the browser history.

It seems that recent browsers (IE and Netscape 7) don't support ftp properly.
I'm told that Netscape 4.x is the only one that does it properly (and I've
downloaded it, and it does indeed work correctly).

So, getting Netscape 4.8 is one solution to your problem.
