FTP - File Transfer Protocol is method to transfer files to your server and from your server. To use FTP access you need FTP client and access information to your server.
There are many FTP clients out there and by simply using Google you found tons of them. One I can recommend is extremely popular WS_FTP Pro. Home version of this is fair good too for almost any kind FTP work. See below for download links and getting started tutorial if you are completely new into FTP.

There's also FTP in every Windows. Or should have.. It's ugly and all, but will do the job. I still prefer WS_FTP Pro even if it cost little. But this is how it goes in Windows XP:
- Just open Command Prompt and type: ftp and hit enter.
- Type: open 000.000.000 (ftp server IP address) OR open ftp.domain.com.
Server will ask for username and password if needed and you're in. To general command of Windows FTP program, type simply: ? and hit enter.
FTP is simple to use and you can learn it in just few mins.
