Windows XP Professional FTP clients
Windows XP Professional comes with three FTP clients. Selecting to use one
client over another is based on user preference.
The first FTP client is a command linę utility, Ftp.exe, which contains the fuli
FTP feature set. The second FTP client is integrated with Windows Explorer.
Windows Explorer adds a full-featured graphical user interface for FTP,
making folders and files on an FTP server look and work much like files on a
local hard disk. Microsoft Internet Explorer offers a third alternative for
interacting with FTP sites: a text~based view that visually resembles directory
listings in Microsoft MS-DOS®, but contains hyperlinks for
navigation and
downloading.
