When you visit a ftp site with Internet Explorer, you can click File/Login as... and login to see files that have been uploaded. I cannot find this function under Firefox.

You can add the username to the url in the location bar and will be prompted for the password. Use the format ftp://user@ftpsitename.com

If you regularly use ftp, the FireFTP add-on may be of use to you, it enhances the ftp functionality of Firefox.
