What version?

I'm running 2.2beta1, but I think they can all do it.

You just choose Open from the File menu, and then from the file selector you 
can type a URL like ftp://ftp.kernel.org in either the directory field or the 
file field...

If you need non-anonymous FTP, you'd use something like: 
ftp://bob@ftp.kernel.org

And it should prompt you for the password.

Or if bob's password was "mypass", you could use a URL like:
ftp://bob:mypass@ftp.kernel.org

KDE programs generally use the KDE libs instead of the regular libc file 
read/write calls, so a lot of them support this kind of thing for "free".
