Sorry, I should have mentioned that I know about that as well.
Most other users are Windows users and they then to just like to click a
link eg:

ftp://1.2.3.4

and it'll open up in explorer. (users, they don't care, as long as it
works)

And I sincerely doubt windows explorer can do it. (Which is the problem)
