This URL should be

ftp://site.com/path/file%20name

which pretty much takes care of the "blanks" problem.

I like:
* Header name is "URL"
* The first white-space-delimited word is the URL (no white space allowed)
* The second quote-delimited word is a description (no quotes allowed)
* Third, fourth, etc words are nothing for now, but might be used in the
future
