If you are really using the ftp protocol, then there's no way to control
this AFAIK.
With http you can set the Content-Disposition header with either a
server-side language (e.g. PHP) or an appropriate server configuration (and
a user-agent *may* decide to open a 'Save as...' dialog instead of opening
it in the browser).

The same question has been asked a few days ago. Look for the thread 'saving
files to a pc'.
