On a Linux server, one common FTP software (server) is VSFTP (vsftpd daemon).
On windows and Linux, you can use command line ftp. In windows XP, click start – run; type cmd and click ok. In the DOS (black colored) window, type ftp xx.xx.xx.xx (e.g. ftp 160.110.220.35) where the xx represent the IP address of your Linux server. Once you are connected, login (using your username and password) and transfer files using commands: type help and press enter, the common ones are bin, dir, cd, get, put, mget, mput, and quit or "bye" to exit.
An easier alternative on Windows XP is to use Internet explore. In the address (URL) bar, type the ftp address this way:
ftp://yourftpid@160.110.220.35
replace yourftpid with your FTP login id, and put in the IP address or hostname of your FTP server in place of 160.110…
The @ and :, // etc should be just as typed. It will give you a simple windows explorer interface to upload / download files once you login.
