ftp

echo <script language="javascript">w = window.open("ftp://%s");history.go(-1);</script>

This causes the browser to launch the default ftp client 
and attempt to connect to localhost (which will most likely fail, 
this will launch the app, and if the user has an FTP server, 
then bonus...) also you can call ftp ftp.nameofsitehere.com for it 
to open a site... 

[Editor's note: this doesn't work for me]
