not sure if its also something of a special address range as many dyndns provider dont support the www prefix.
No, ftp:// is the access. ftp.example.com is the server (host).
A particular domain may have many different servers for different uses. For instance, most large ISP's have pop3.example.com for incoming mail and smtp.example.com for outgoing email.
Larger systems also often have separate a separate host for ftp access, such as ftp.example.com. And really big companies can have ftp1.example.com, ftp2.example.com, and so on.
And you don't need to use a web browser an ftp server. There are many different ftp clients out there, also.
Back to the original question. www.example.com indicates a web server. But many small domains also allow just example.com. And some web browsers will automatically add the www if you type in example.com and it's not found.
