Using FTP client

In this page, I will simply teach how to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
Its allow you to download and upload a file into another computer.

And of course, the permission to download or upload is determine by the another computer. Lets called it as server.

First of all, is the tool required to use this FTP.
In this case I will be showing using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.7 and Core FTP Lite.

Using Mozilla Firefox
Its simple, just type the ftp URL in the URL bar. Eg: ftp://abcxyz.com.my/
Please note that Mozilla Firefox is only a client. Thus, you can only download a file from it(not upload)








Using Core FTP Lite (free edition)
First of all, download the software first
http://www.coreftp.com/
http://download.cnet.com/Core-FTP-Lite/3000-2160_4-10256215.html



Once Install. Run the software and you may have something like this



Go to the Menu > File > Connect.
The ftp server is ftp://abcxyz.com.my/. Thus, inside the HOST/IP/URL is “abcxyz.com.my”.
The username and password is depends.
After all the setting, click “Connect” button.
To use the Core FTP is also easy. Just need to drag and drop for download or upload
