You might try ncftp instead of plain vanilla ftp. It allows you to point it at a URL and has some nice shortcuts for anonymous FTP. You have to install it though. It's in the repository.

ncftp ftp://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/loongson/

The package also includes ncftpget

Plain FTP requires that you enter a username manually, even if it is 'anonymous'

If you want a gui ftp program then filezilla is quite good. It's cross platform and is in the universe repo for ubuntu. It supports passive ftp so it should work for you.

Doesn't Nautilus support ftp?

It used to. I haven't tried it since the gnome devs did their slash and burn attack on it.
