And when I click on the download button, the address change to :

but just for a short time and come back to the first Address and it does nothing!

While Safari does download files from FTP itself, this is specified as an FTP directory (as it contains multiple segments). The default behaviour is for Finder to mount this as a remote filesystem. From a usability perspective, this is evil, but it's what happens nonetheless. You should get a new volume appear in the finder with the segments in it, then you can copy them to wherever you like.


Also note it's bad practice to distribute URLs with session keys and stuff. Although they expire quite quickly (15 or 30 minutes), in the meantime someone could go to that link you posted and they'd be automatically logged in as you. Also note that this is in violation of your user agreements with Apple.
