FTP – File Transfer Protocol. It’s just another way of transfering files over the net. If files on an FTP site are freely downloadable without restrictions, you should be able to download them through you browser. But most FTP sites are “ratio” sites, meaning they won’t let you download unless you first upload something. The “ratio” part refers to the ratio between how much you upload and how much you download – a 1:5 site ratio means you must upload 1 Mb for every 5 Mb you want to download. To use a ratio site you will have to work with an FTP client, i.e. a program specifically designed for doing FTP, such as Cute FTP / WS FTP. There programs allow you to define FTP sites in a directory, along with the logins and passwords for them. Many FTP sites are only up at certain hours of the day.
