<A HREF problem

I have a script that displays records one field of which is a link to a file
on my FTP server. This field is displayed using:

echo "<A HREF='$row[54]'>Download</A>";

Instead of showing as:

ftp//:my_server/file_to_download

the link shows as:

http://www.my_domain.com/file_displaying_records.phtml?variable=$variable#ft
p//:my_server/file_to_download#

where the first part refers to the script that displays the records.

Any ideas how can I stop this happening?

The data in the field actually appears as
#ftp//:my_server/file_to_download#. This is derived from Access - exported,
uploaded as a text file then imported to the MySQL database. Could this be
the reason?
