The URL is correct, but that is not yet - ftp - that is http or https:
Pasting www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/fixget into firefox I got:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/fixgetUsage:
fixget?get=status -- returns current server status
fixget?get=usage -- returns usage with several examples
-or-
fixget?parameter=value¶meter=value&...
Required parameters:
t - [A|P|M|K|S|C|L|F] fix type designator
[A]PAR(s)
[P]TF(s)
[F]ileset
[M]aintenance level - OS level is determined from 'ml'
[K] - treated the same as [M] - used by suma command.
[ S]ecurity fixes - OS level is determined from 'ml'
[C]ritical fixes - OS level is determined from 'ml'
[L]atest fixes - OS level is determined from 'ml'
(unsupported for AIX 4.3)
For fix types A and P, parameter 'fl' is required:
fl - a colon-separated list of APAR or PTF numbers
For fix type F, parameter 'fl' is required:
fl - a fileset:V.R.M.F (ie, bos.rte.install:5:2:0:10)
special instance - VRMF can be 'latest' (unsupported for AIX 4.3)
For fix type M, parameter 'fl' is required:
fl - a single maintenance level/technology level/service pack
Currently supported:
V520001
V520002
....
V610004
V61000401
special instance - latest - for latest ML/TL/SP
[in this case, current maintenance level is taken from ml parameter
ie, t=M&fl=latest&ml=V530004 would get the latest 53 ML/SP]
For fix types S, C, and L, parameter 'fl' is NOT required and will be ignored
Optional parameters:

p - [y|n] flag for PE resolution - Default is [n]o
s - [y|n] flag for supersede - Default is [n]o
r - [y|n] flag for pre/corequisites - Default is [n]o
NOTE: if p=y, r will be set to 'y' automatically
if t=M or t=C, r will be set to 'y' automatically
pr - [h|f|s] flag for protocol - [h]ttp, [f]tp, or http[s ] - Default is [f]
of - output flags - combine letters for each section desired:

So, check if you can do a curl-like get of the query, or just telnet www14.software.ibm.com 80
as in:

to determine whether you can do the basic query that returns a list of files to download via ftp. Maybe
https://www14.software.ibm.com will work for you instead?
