You can also try two commands provided by netrw:

gf : treat string under cursor as a file's name
gd: treat string under cursor as a directory's name

Netrw has a variable that may help you:

g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd

See :help g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd . The point is: netrw expects the
listing delivered by ftp to include the name followed by "/" in the case
of directories. Try using ftp directly; does

ls -lF

show directories with trailing slashes? It could either be the site
that's causing trouble, your ftp doesn't pass along options, etc. If you
find some magic option that gets those slashes, modify the variable.
