I need the help of someone who knows about FTP.

During a recent telephone conversation I had with a web hosting company, the man said that I could upload my files using internet explorer. He said that instead of using the http:// that I could use ftp:// followed by the web adress, an example being ftp://oneandone.co.uk

This does not work and I’m not sure what he means. All I get is the page not found page.

Can anyone throw any light on this? I am totally confused.

Also could someone send me an ftp address that does work so I can see what he is talking about?

Thank you.
