It was Opera perhaps?
In the nineties i was in the bussiness of dial-up internet providers here in Brazil and remember how handy was Opera back then.
For instance, it was a great dial up manager back then, and it made the effort of installing dial up clients on Windows machines very easy.
Was it Cyberdog? I know that’s extremely obscure, but…

Seamonkey is "all your Internet needs in one application". Somewhat surprising it is still maintained
Netscape Communicator perhaps?

Netscape Communicator certainly had the email features, but I don't think it ever included FTP. At most, it supported a primitive sort of web authoring via HTTP PUT requests (!).
Even Netscape Navigator (the browser-only version) had an FTP client built-in
Do you mean something beyond being able to load and display resources from FTP sites? I remember Netscape, and I also remember having to open up Fetch to do anything serious with FTP.
That being said as long as Chrome will launch an FTP client upon encountering ftp:// links, it's not a problem.
