I think you're mistaking the purpose of the CFFTP tag. CFFTP allows Cold
Fusion to act as an FTP client; uploading, downloading, etc. files from a
remote FTP server. It does NOT act like CFFORM, CFINPUT, etc. which spit
out associated HTML equivalents.
I'm assuming you want to create a link to a file on a remote FTP site. In
that case, do not use CFFTP. Instead, simply write your A HREF as:
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.foo.com/bar/baz.txt";>Click to download</A>
