Access FTP server without any third party software

FTP is used for transfer of large files. Bloggers and webmasters use FTP frequently for uploading files to their server space all the time. FTP transfers usually involve some software installed on the computer. The method usually involves connecting to a particular host server URL, and entering the user name and password for access. FTP transfers may be primitive (they do not have much security), but they are still widely used.

If you are interested in accessing FTP server without the use of any third party software then there is an easier way to access FTP servers . All that you require is the Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer (either of them can be used). To access any FTP server, enter the following (replace server with the domain/subdomain):

ftp://ftp.server.com

Once you enter this, a dialog box will come up, and you can fill out the user name and password and click Log On.if you dont want the pop up box, you can also use

ftp://username:password@ftp.server.com

Though it is not recommended to use but in case of unavailability of any third party ftp software you can use this method.
