Epiphany uses WebKitGTK for web page fetching and rendering, which in
turn uses LibSoup[0] for its networking implementation. So the first
port of call would be to check that Soup supports FTP, or can be made to
do so. Once that is the case, then some additional but hopefully trivial
work would be needed in Epiphany and perhaps WebKitGTK to enable support
for it.

If this doesn't work out, Nautilus and GNOME in general uses GIO for its
networking, a virtual file system API for GLib. The standard
implementation of this is GVFS, which does indeed support FTP, but is
designed for a "mount and browse" use case, rather than a "fetch this
URI" use case. I believe there isn't any support for changing this, so
it might be something of a dead end anyway.

Perhaps you should look into registering a desktop-wide protocol handler
for FTP that just an program like wget?
