Thanks Jonathan, I have rebooted since.  Since I've rebooted I've noticed that 
Dolphin *can* connect to ftp servers, albeit intermittently.  Perhaps this is 
a server problem, so I will keep an eye on it.

However, the problem remains with Konqueror.  It fails each time to connect 
with a message like this:

==============================================
The requested operation could not be completed

Request Aborted By User

Details of the Request:

URL: ftp://ftp.<FQDN>
Protocol: ftp
Date and Time: Friday 17 March 2017 08:22
Additional Information: ftp.<FQDN>
Description:

The request was not completed because it was aborted.

Possible Solutions:

Retry the request.
==================

Looking at the traffic on a local ftp server I can see it connects, but then 
no authentication takes place.  It aborts and the ftp server even complains 
about the way Konqueror aborts like so:

You.could.
at.least.say.goo
dbye...

So Konqueror does not appear to engage in an exchange of credentials with the 
server, or close the connection gracefully.  I wonder if this is related to 
how Konqueror now interacts with the plasma password manager.
