File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Question

Does a file transfer protocol come standard with the Inspiron 6000?  I have been asked what FTP I am using and I don't know where to access that information.  Is this software that I have to purchase or is this something I already have?  If this is standard software that comes with the computer, can someone tell me what FTP my computer uses?   Thanks

your pc didn't come with any FTP software but you can get free FTP software from off the net. fyi I use WS_FTP lite.

Windows XP comes with a command line ftp client located in C:\windows\system32\ftp.exe with a version number of "5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)" on my system (XP home SP2). This version number is the same as XP itself as ftp.exe is part of XP.

You REALLY dont want to use a command line FTP program, find one with a GUI
