You can login to a server and send a file via that userid and server. It depends on your method, via internet Explorer, you can UPLOAD the file. Via the command line, you can PUT the file to the destination.
You must first have the IP (Internet protocol) address of the FTP server. For an example I will use localhost which won't work unless you have an FTP service running on your computer. You may use two ways without downloading any FTP software and those are using Internet explorer or windows explorer.
Internet Explorer:
Type in the url: ftp://localhost
Replace localhost with your FTP server IP of course.
Then you may either log in as a user or attempt to login anonymously.
Then you may browse the files, but not download them.
Windows Explorer:
Type in the address box: ftp://localhost
Again replacing localhost with your FTP Server's IP
Then login as a user or anonymously
When you find a file you like just copy it then paste it on your computer where you want it.
If you want to disconnect simply close the window.

The Difference Between a File Server & an FTP ServerFunctiono File servers store data for an entire network, just as an individual computer's hard drive stores data for that individual computer. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers run an FTP application to exchange files over the Internet, which is the world's largest network.Similaritieso File serving and FTP serving are both networking methods that involve file transfer between computers. FTP servers need to work together with file servers in order to function. In a network using FTP, file servers store data while FTP servers transmit that data over the Internet, with both being necessary for file transfer to occur.Differenceso FTP servers download files from or upload files to file servers. FTP servers move files to and from file server locations. FTP servers require file servers, but file servers do not require FTP servers, since file servers also serve various intranet networks not connected to the Internet.http://www.ehow.com/facts_6885629_difference-file-server-ftp-server.html-RLSB
