Yup, if you were using http or https then the connection was not FTP, even though the server name was ftp.messagingengine.com. The first part of the URL specifies what protocol to use. Valid ones that mac osx 10.5 supports are afp, at, file, ftp, http, https, nfs, smb, cifs or vnc. I haven't checked if there are any new ones for Snow Leopard.
