FTP clients are used mainly for connecting to servers to upload download or manage files. For example if you need to put your web page online, you need to upload those files to your hosting space. Although there are services that allow you to upload files via http on a web page, FTP is normally faster and easier in my opinion. There are quite a few free FTP clients out there that will do just about anything that needs to be done with an FTP client. I hope that helps.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It allows for easy transfer of files between a user and a host. FTP accounts are on the host and are accessible from any machine that is connected to the Internet and has the feature allowed.There are many FTP clients out there that claim to be better and faster. They often are. Personally, I find the use of cP (control Panel) file manager the best to use, but FTP clients like SmartFTP are better for people that have very large files uploading to multiple accounts. They often have a built in accelerator to use all the channels of the modem.Internet Explorer does have its own FTP client, although it has been for me, very slow and buggy, often logging me out after 15-minutes, which isn't good when you have a slow upload and a big file. If you are familiar with MS-DOS command lines, then you can use CMD to access FTP through that.
