Comment:

Thanks for the suggestion. Given that this seems to be a very niche use
case, as well as the fact that major browsers like Firefox and Chrome no
longer support FTP, I don't see a compelling reason to make this change.

Comment (by Nikolay Fedorov):

Thank you for answer and sorry for the inconvenience, but it's not about
browsers, but about the OS explorer, which opens the directory by link. In
my project, I use ftp links as a way to access files stored on a different
computer than the one running django. I am not able to use FilePathField
for example.

Comment (by Tim Graham):

Support for ftp was added to `URLField` nearly 14 years ago in #15229.
Given major browsers no longer support it, there could be an argument that
`URLField` should drop support for it also. The main difficulty would be a
clean solution for backward-compatibility for those already using FTP
URLs, see #25594.
