It seems kaffe/net/www/protocol/ftp/FtpURLConnection.java
does nothing about URLConnection with FTP protocol.

I am not powerful enough to modify FtpURLConnection.java
so that it supports the real FTP.  But it is not difficult
to use a proxy.  Here are my patches to
  kaffe/net/DefaultURLStreamHandlerFactory.java
and
  kaffe/net/www/protocol/http/HttpURLConnection.java
which enable URLConnection with FTP protocol to work
if system properties ftp.proxyHost and ftp.proxyPort
are set.
