Copy on right click not available on FTP URL

I had a query that if the ftp service is enabled on a RHEL server, then, why is the right-click on the URL which is like:
Code:
ftp://10.101.18.19

does not yield a save-as box? But if I do a ftp to the server like

Code:
ftp <server_name>

the mget for a file works.

I hope my query is clear that the file cannot be downloaded from the URL but a command line ftp for the file works.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

Regards

No, not very. Where is this text that you want to click, which program is it displaying this text?

Thanks for your reply. The browser is displaying the FTP server hosted on a RHEL server and I want to download the files showing on the FTP server. Say, there is a file called 'hello' and I click on hello, it is displaying the text of hello and not a save as dialog box.

What is "The Browser"? Is it a world wide web browser? Which one? Is it a local file browser like Nautilus? Need the name of your software if you want any useful replies.

Shift-click downloads on my Windows-8 Chrome of similar revision (latest). It does open another window to support it, but they are cheap.
