that maybe it will only accept an FTP link to the file, so I changed it to
such. Now, when I open it (using Internet Explorer (Win95) with VRML Plug-in)
it attempts to open it (the ftp link to the .wrl file) but it causes an error
in IExplorer which causes it to shut down.

Is your http server configured to server VRML files? You need add a mime.type
entry to your server's config file. Something like the following

x-world/x-vrml wrl

As far as Internet Explorer goes, you're on your own.
(But I am sure that MicroSoft's support people will help you out.)
