Even though one can get the most flexibility using an FTP client software, it is sometimes faster/easier to just connect to an FTP server using your web browser. You can connect by using an url in the form of:
ftp://user:password@ftpserver_url/pathwhere user:password are your username and password, ftpserver_url is the IP address or URL of the server, and /path is an optional directory name.
If the FTP server does not require username and password, you can connect by using simply:
ftp://ftpserver_url
