accessing FTP sites

Question

I am having some difficulty accessing FTP websites -- I have an Insprion 6000 with Windows XP and IE 7. Each time I visit a FTP website, I am told that the webpage isn't available. How can I access FTP pages? If you can help, thank you

Are you using 'ftp' or 'http'?  You must use 'ftp', e.g. ftp://
