Find the FTP address of the remote file, including the file's complete path. (If you are clicking through a link on a Web site, you will not need to know the path, since the Webmaster will have coded this into the link.)
Enter the FTP address in the browser address box, the same way you would enter an HTTP (Web) address. For example, your FTP address might be something like this: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/freeware/myfile.zip.
Press the Enter key.
Enter any ID information or passwords that you may have been assigned, if prompted. Some Web sites may be set up so you are not required to enter passwords or log-in IDs.
Choose the Save File to Disk option if given the choice between that and Open File.
Identify the folder on your hard drive where you want the downloaded file to be stored. Accept the default or choose another folder.
Wait while the file downloads to your hard disk.

How to Find an FTP AddressIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Replace the 'http' in your URL with an 'ftp.' You may need to enter it in the form: 'ftp://websiteaddress.com' or 'ftp://ftp.websiteaddress.com.' If the FTP is under a sub-domain, it may be listed as 'ftp.subdomain.hostdomain.com' or 'ftp://ftp.subdomain.hostdomain.com.'
Check the welcome letter you received from the web hosting provider.
Log in to the control panel of your website. Using this method, you will need the username and password to access the account. The FTP address should be listed in the FTP account section of the control panel.
Contact your web host for the FTP address.

How to Fix Internet Explorer Error Code 10061In Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
Check the address in your toolbar to make sure it is correct. If you get this error, you may have entered the address wrong into your address toolbar. Check the entire address for errors since there is a huge difference between .com and .org at the end of a URL or http: and ftp: at the beginning of a URL.
Contact the administrator of the site you are trying to visit. The administrator may have the wrong link to a specific place on the site or a server may be not working correctly. You may also need some sort of special permission to view content on that Web server.
Check your system administrator if you are at work or at school. Copy and paste the entire error that you get in an email to your system help desk. Include the entire Web address that gave you the error. An error of this type may be caused by a firewall or a proxy setting your work or school has control over.

What Are the Benefits of FTP?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Files are uploaded to an FTP server. The server has a large memory capacity to host the files available for transfer. Files can be accessed through any Internet browser or any FTP software, referred to as a 'client.' Sometimes files are available permanently, but oftentimes, especially through a company, they may be available only temporarily. Check with the administrator to find out whether there is an automatic delete time frame.
Access
One way to access these files directly is to use the FTP address through an Internet browser. The address will be similar to a website address, except instead of 'http://,' it will begin with 'ftp://.' You may need a login ID and password to access some FTP sites, which will typically automatically pop up in a dialogue box.
Inside an FTP Site
Once you're logged in, there will usually be a file structure, with main folders and subfolders, similar to what you may have in 'My Documents' on your computer. This structure is set up by an administrator. Folders and files may be public or private, and access may include adding, moving, editing and/or deleting; so, if it seems like you can't do something, check with the administrator about the limits to your access.
'Hidden' FTP
However, when downloading from the internet, the FTP site is probably using an anonymous login, which is why you may have never known it was happening. The FTP address itself is usually hidden from the end user, though the file transfer process is the same.
Easier Access
If you start using an FTP site regularly, find yourself with multiple IDs or just want an easier access point, then an FTP client is something to consider. There are many free options available. It makes uploading much easier and protects downloads---simply drag and drop. It will store all of your frequented FTP sites, along with their respective logins and passwords, in one convenient place. Check out the resources below for a start, find one that suits your needs and preferences, and let the file transfers begin.

HTTP Vs. FTP File TransferIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
In order to update a file to a website, all the user needs is a modern internet browser. However, on the server side of the website, a site programmer has to implement a system that can handle a file upload. The programmer has several options to perform this, from a simple HTML upload to more advanced forms with languages such as PHP and ASP, for use in a forum or a blog. With downloading, all a user has to do is click on a link.
Uploading via FTP
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, predates HTTP by quite some time. However, FTP is used primarily by webmasters and web developers who need to upload files directly to their servers. In order to use an FTP server, you will need an FTP client to connect to it. Free FTP programs include FileZilla and CoreFTP, and can be found in the resources section below.
Advantages and Disadvantages of HTTP
HTTP uploads provide an incredibly simple method of uploading files to a server, with minimal knowledge about file transfers. Downloading a file is also incredibly easy too. However, the disadvantages lie in HTTP's lack of power when it comes to file uploading. Also, a programmer needs to have the knowledge required to create the form in HTML, in order to upload the file in question. This especially is true if the file is for a social network similar to Myspace or Facebook that they're creating.
Advantages and Disadvantages of FTP
Using a FTP server offers advantages of its own. For one, a user can use a program to perform a mass upload to a server, not having to worry about repeatedly having to rebrowse for files and re-upload them using one form. Downloads can also be done en masse as well. Unfortunately, an FTP server still requires an FTP client to use, and the use of one would be particularly cumbersome to those who just wanted to upload a picture or two.
Differences
Ultimately, FTP and HTTP file transfers have completely different purposes. FTP's file transfer purpose is more or less for website maintenance and batch uploads, while HTTP is for client-end work and for end users to upload things such as movies, pictures and other files to the server. Often times, a programmer will use FTP to upload the files that allow an end-user to upload files via HTML/HTTP as well.

How to Learn Network ProtocolsIn Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
Memorize the seven OSI layers using the commonly-used mnemonic 'All People Seem To Need Data Processing' -- for Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data link and Physical layers.
Remember that the Application layer is for applications that interface with users. Functions included here are emails, file transfers, web-browsing and remote access. Common email protocols are SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3). Web-browsing has HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). File transfer has FTP (file transfer protocol).
Remember that the Presentation layer is involved in the presentation of data. This includes audio, video and other visual presentations. Protocols include the common JPEG for pictures, MP3 for music, AVI for videos.
Remember that the Session layer is responsible for establishing a session or connection between computers and networks. Common protocols include SQL (structured query language) and RPC (remote procedure call).
Remember that the Transport layer is involved in transmitting or transferring data from one device to another. Common protocols are TCP (Transport Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
Remember that the Network layer is responsible for tracking and routing where data should be transmitted. To be able to route data correctly, computers need 'addresses,' which the Internet Protocol (IP) is responsible for. Similar to courier and cargo services, the network layer also has the RIP (Routing Information Protocol), EGP (External Gateway Protocol) and IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). These are the trucks, planes, and trains responsible for routing data.
Remember that the Data link layer is responsible for linking or connecting data between the other protocols. It provides error-free mechanism to ensure that the link is maintained. Common protocol is PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol).
Remember that the Physical layer are the physical connections between networks and computers. These are the wires, cables, switches, amplifiers and other physical devices that link computers. There is no protocol under the Physical layer.

Memorize the seven OSI layers using the commonly-used mnemonic 'All People Seem To Need Data Processing' -- for Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data link and Physical layers.
Remember that the Application layer is for applications that interface with users. Functions included here are emails, file transfers, web-browsing and remote access. Common email protocols are SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3). Web-browsing has HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). File transfer has FTP (file transfer protocol).
Remember that the Presentation layer is involved in the presentation of data. This includes audio, video and other visual presentations. Protocols include the common JPEG for pictures, MP3 for music, AVI for videos.
