If your FTP server doesn't work except when the client is embedded in a
Web browser, something is seriously broken and it is not supporting
standard FTP.

When I want to use the Web (which is relatively rare), I use a Web
browser.  When I want to FTP, I use an FTP client.  I do not confuse
the two.

I tried it anyway.  I get that it is "Unable to access document".
Snooping the traffic reveals that it actually has much the same problem
I unwittingly had - and, on checking, I find it is not 1738-compliant,
so I am right to distrust FTP clients glued onto the side of Web
browsers.

> cd pdp1134

This works.  Your FTP server is, while not actually non-compliant,
unusual in that / for anonymous users is not the root of the anonymous
directory.  The FTP fetch I tried was sending "CWD /pdp1134"; lynx was
sending "RETR /pdp1134".  "ftp bickleywest.com:pdp1134/KK11-A.pdf"
works.
