How can I open an ftp server in Chrome?

When I open an ftp address (e.g. ftp://localhost/some/path) it open "Choose an app" in Chrome. I've tried passive-ftp and some other things in internet options which didn't work. Is there a way to just open it in Chrome without the choose app dialog?

FTP support in Chrome is gone. Although dropping FTP was pushed back due to the pandemic and was simply disabled by default, it has since been removed.

In earlier versions, you could go to chrome://flags and re-enable FTP, though this is no longer possible.

However, you should be looking for a different solution like a dedicated FTP client (FileZilla, Cyberduck, …).

Update: ftp:// support in Chrome is now entirely gone even removed from chrome://flags as of M95
