ftp not accessible from email

iis ftp: I have a site on my system that I allow people to access with a password.

I can connect from IE using:

ftp://ftp.myserver.com/

It comes up and ask for a password, which is correct.

But when I send this address to someone in an email and they click on it, it
also works.

But if it is in a word document and they follow the link using ctrl-click on
the url, they get:

"Unable to open ftp://ftp.myserver.com/. The internet site reports that the
item you requested could not be found. (HTTP/1.0.404)"

Why is that?

If I do: http://myserver.com/ from word, it works fine.

Thanks,

Tom
