I played with that after reading this post.  I couldn't make it work.
Is there a trick you know of?  I tried:

ftp   xterm -e ncftp "%s" 

but netscrape still launched! Then I messed with using urlview as the
"default" handler but I still got netscape!  I suppose with some
hacking, urlview could be made to do this.  But, I wasn't inclined to
fool around with it any longer.
