FTP is language utilized to move files from PC to PC over internet or over a network. To access files from a remote site you want to know some things. Firstly you want to know FTP site address or IP Address. If site needs a login name and password you want to get these also. Some sites permit for unspecified login where you do not want a name and password.

Then open Internet Explorer and type site address in address bar. You want to type ftp: // and then address or IP address. E.g. you can type it as ftp://ftp.microsoft.com or ftp://192.168.1.25 based on what information you have.

If FTP site needs you to login you can right tick anywhere and choose Login As and type in your information.
