I don't think Chrome can/will do SFTP either.
The point is that on https://www.freepascal.org/docs.html the links are to a ftp site.
When clicking it, Chrome does give a prompt to open it in another program, but it's better to just host those files on the https variant.
(or removing those ftp-links as actual link because they don't work anymore)

I agree. Frankly I don't think /anything/ other than developers' tools supports SFTP: the documents should be presented via (s)http and preferably marked with a disposition header ** that encourages a browser to ask whether they should be saved rather than blithely opening them.
** I presume that HTTP has something like this available, I know that email does.
Later: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition

The files are available in an archive file on SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Documentation/3.2.2/.
Doesn't solve the original issue, but...
