Since these are URL's, the standard way of specifying them in plain
text would be as follows:

This is an interesting file:
<URL:ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/hamradio/docs/misc/megalist.txt>

This is the directory where the archives of our beloved mailing list can
be retrieved:
<URL:ftp://qrp@think.com/pub/radio/ham/qrp/archives/>

...and I would include the slash after the directory name to indicate
that it is not a file name and a list will follow.
