Find the address of the FTP server that you want to connect to. FTP servers owned by large corporations are usually identified by a name. For example, the address of the public Microsoft FTP server is ftp.Microsoft.com. A privately owned FTP server may not have a domain name. If an FTP server does not have a domain name, it is identified by an IP address, such as 192.168.0.1.
Find the port number of the FTP server. The standard port number for FTP servers is 21. If the port number is not mentioned, it is generally safe to assume that it uses port 21. Private servers often use nonstandard port numbers to avoid unwanted connection attempts.
Open Internet Explorer. Click in the address bar at the top of the screen, where you would normally type a website address. Type 'ftp' followed by a colon and two backslashes, then type the address of the FTP server. If the server uses a port number other than 21, type a colon followed by the port number. For example, if you wanted to connect to the Microsoft FTP server, you would type 'ftp://ftp.Microsoft.com' and press 'Enter.' If you wanted to connect to a server at the IP address 192.168.0.1 and using the port number 2000, you would type 'ftp://192.168.0.1:2000' and press 'Enter.'
Type the user name and password if prompted, then click the 'Log On' button. If the FTP server is private, the user name and password must be provided to you by the administrator in order to connect. Public FTP servers such as the one owned by Microsoft allow 'anonymous' connections, meaning that you are not prompted for a user name and password. Once you are connected, a list of folders is displayed. Think of these as being similar to the folders on your computer. Each is identified by a blue clickable link.
Click a blue link to browse into that folder. As you browse through the folders of the FTP site, you will begin to see files. Files can be identified by the extensions displayed, such as '.ZIP' or .RAR.' The size of each file (in bytes) is displayed in the column to the left of the file name.
Click the name of a file to download it. An Internet Explorer download window opens.
Click the 'Save' button. Browse to the location where you want to save the file--such as the desktop--and click 'Save' again to download the file.
