Specify a custom program for handling a protocol

Question

I want to associate the FTP protocol to Filezilla. I click on

1. Control Panel
2. Control Panel Home
3. Default Programs
4. Set Associations

Then I select the FTP protocol and click on Change program... but I can specify just Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Is it possible to add Filezilla to this list?
