There must be something really screwy about your setup. I've tried
http://arts.ucsc.edu/faculty/cope/mp3page.htm in both konqueror and firefox.
In both cases, on clicking a link I see something like 'beginning ftp
transaction' then a login page comes up. Looks perfectly OK to me.
In both applications I then pasted in
ftp://arts.ucsc.edu/pub/cope/visions2.mp3 - exactly the same happened. I got
a login page.
