How to Open an FTP Site in ExplorerIn Feburary 2016 01,

In Feburary 2016 01,
Open an Explorer window by going to Start>My Computer.
Make sure the address bar is showing. If not, go to View>Toolbars and select Address Bar (this is more likely to be necessary in XP).
Type the address of the FTP server into the address bar, starting with ftp://. So to access yourftp.com, for example, you would type in ftp://yourftp.com.
Enter your user name and password if prompted. If this is the case, in the Log On As dialogue box that comes up, make sure that 'Log on anonymously' is unchecked. If the site is not secured, you will not be asked for this. A new window should open showing all the available folders in the FTP site.
Drag files from your desktop into the FTP folder to upload; drag them from the folder onto your desktop to download.
