Let me explain.

FTP is a File Transfer Protocol used to transfer files from one computer to any other computer or sever as Windows contains a built -in client in Internet Explorer Browser, you can connect to the ftp site by typing the ftp site address in the Address Bar and browse the site to upload files.
for example: 1) Open Internet Explorer Browser.

ftp://ftp-www.earthlink.net
